In light of yesterday's congressional hearing wherein the costs of the Iraq war were estimated to be in the range of $1 trillion, James McGovern, a Massachusetts Congressman, suggested we institute a war tax so that the credit card bill for our kids and grandkids will be a manageable bill. Of course, the idea of sacrifice other - than that of the military and their families -has never entered Bush's lexicon.
Note that some economists have predicted a cost of $2 trillion.

Nice idea, Jimmy. Let's see how eager people are to continue a war once it actually affects them. Be sure to tax all those corporations who made billions off this war already
