Cha-thunk, cha-thunk. Hear that? That's the Bureau of Engraving working three shifts a day further devaluing our fiat dollar:
The White House is preparing to ask for as much as another $50 billion to pay for the war in Iraq, a signal that the Bush administration expects to maintain the current troop surge through the spring.

The Washington Post reports Wednesday that the money would be in addition to a $147 billion request that already is pending before Congress to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the two requests together are also in addition to the $460 billion 2008 fiscal year request for defense spending.
Half a Trillion here, half a trillion there, pretty soon you're going to start talking about some real money!

And most people don't think that this stupid war doesn't affect them?!? Seriously, did you buy something today? Hope so, because your money is going to be worth less tomorrow.
