Dollars not the only cost in war

The Congressional and Budget Office updated its 10-year budget and economic outlook this month in a 112 page document that you can download here.

This is a wide-ranging document, as you'd expect. But it's interesting the nugget people are mining out of it, and how it's being played, particularly by Fox News, it's affiliates and several other organizations.

With headlines like this one: CBO: Eight Years of Iraq War Cost Less Than Stimulus Act.

I suppose that's true. Unless you believe that human lives have value, and their loss a cost.
