USA gives 42 hours of war as relief

You might wonder what I mean with that headline but this is just what I found on Frank Boosman’s blog: pseudorandom: When Does $350 Million Equal 42 Hours?.

> […] the war in Iraq has cost $130 billion to date (per the Office of Management and Budget). […], which in turn equals $198,730,732 per day.

> In other words, the total amount committed by the US government to date for tsunami relief — $350,000,000 — equals 42.27 hours of the cost of the war in Iraq. […]

Oh boy, does put things in perspective doesn’t it? Thanks for that one Frank.
