Your Monthly Bill for the Iraq War

Shana Kluck's picture

Putting it at a level that most Americans can relate to (recurring monthly charges), this clever video brings up an interesting point.  Would this war still be going (or have ever started for that matter) if families had to write a monthly check to cover the expenses?  For that matter, what other “government services” would be quickly put to an end if voters paid for them directly instead instead of with money subtracted from their paychecks before ever reaching their checking account?
