Daily Cost of War

This is a powerful reminder of where your hard-earned dollars are being spent:

CostofWar.com

You can go so far as to pick your state and your county and see the reflection there. For Jefferson County, Kentucky, at the time of this post, the ticker read: over $654 MILLION has been leeched from our pockets. And you thought that the ticker for the National Deficit was tough to watch...

That $654 million could go a LONG way towards education, homelessness, health care and well, it could also just stay in my pocket a bit longer.
