Harkin: What does Iraq cost your family?

Got an email from Tom Harkin last night about the cost of the Iraq War. Harkin includes this interesting information...

For some perspective, consider this: The President objects that we exceeded his budget request by $9 billion for an entire year. But he is currently spending $8 billion per month in Iraq.

President Bush would rather spend $8 billion a month in Iraq than increase funding for critical domestic needs by $9 billion per year. That's one cost of his war.

In the rest of the email Harkin then gives his fundraising pitch. Visit the Iowa Democratic Bloggers Act Blue page to donate to his campaign or check Harkin's website site for more information on how to donate.
