On May 30th, the combined cost of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars is expected to reach $1 trillion. Brave New Foundation has created a Facebook application that allows Americans to see what, other than war, $1 trillion can be spent on. Access it here.
Congratulations! We're awesome! And of course none of this has contributed to our economic collapse, since it's only pretend money that's unaccounted for. Hooray! Play money! Why fight dumb wars if you can't parade around like the old monocled Monopoly guy while using his money???!!!
Here's my spending of the trillion. I don't know what I'll do with the $387B left over, but I'm pretty sure my dick will just about fall off.
