Gross's fuzzy math
Mathew Gross says we've spent $420 billion on the Iraq war. He then says we can insure all Americans for $80 billion spread out over the next ten years.
Hmmmm. This got me thinking. I wonder how much that is per person. Let's see. If I take $80 billion and divide by 300 million (the number of Americans give or take), I get $266.67. That's a heck of a plan, Matt. That's only $26.67 per person per year.
