Iraqi War costing $237 million every day

In a speech that 84-year-old George McGovern recently gave at the National Press Club, while likening the Iraqi War to the VietNam one, he touched on the following financial statistics from Iraq:

the steadily rising cost of a war that claims over $7 billion a month...

$237 million every day ...

just the interest on our skyrocketing national debt is $760,000 every day...

Imagine for a moment how many needs worldwide could be addressed with even a portion of a budget with figures like this!
