Well, that is currently how much of <i>your<\/i> money the U.S. government is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalpriorities.org\/costofwar_home\">spending on the war in Iraq.<\/a> Money well spent I&#8217;m sure you agree.<\/p>\n<p>Some would say that this money may have been better spent on providing world-class healthcare, housing, transport and education which it would have been able to do several times over. You obviously don&#8217;t, because you&#8217;re planning on electing that pillar of self-interested spiteful conservatism and at the same time you should be looking forward to not being able afford to travel to work, feed your family, or ever get ill.<\/p>\n<p>One thing you really really need to understand is that <i>the oil <b>IS<\/b> going to run out.<\/i> It&#8217;s not going to get any cheaper, regardless of how many new wells you dig &#8211; you&#8217;re just slowing down the decay.

Instead, tear up your voting card and check yourself into the local nuthouse.
