Sometime between now and Memorial Day, the House is expected to consider $33 billion more for war in Afghanistan. ...Of course, by itself the number $33 billion is totally meaningless. To make it meaningful, we need to compare it to something - what else could we do with $33 billion?On the other hand, $33 billion is good for the stockholders of Haliburton, KBR, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman Corp (drones), Boeing, etc.
