If you do the math, they were pretty close to being correct:
 http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2006/defense.html
2006 DOD "discretionary" budget ............................ $419.3 billion
assume Iraq/Afgahnistan "supplemental" remails the same .... 87.0 billion
==============
$506.3 billion
525600 minutes per year. That's damn close to $1M/minute.
Time for all of us who just submitted our tax returns to reflect on this.
ONE MILLION DOLLARS *A MINUTE* OF OUR MONEY WILL BE SPENT THIS WAY BY THE CRIMINAL BUSH REGIME!
Something for all of us to be very proud about indeed.
In my opinion, Ward Cunningham has made a very good point.
