18.2 Seconds in Iraq


The Anchorage School District paid me 18.2 seconds in Iraq last year.

500 000 000 000 / (5 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 3 170.9792 war cost in dollars per second.

57 815.30 / 3 170.9792 = 18.232633 my yearly salary paid in Seconds-in-Iraq.

I got the idea and the picture from My Confined Space.

And this comment from natedog links to the The President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2009. That includes "$515 billion for the Department of Defense base budget – a nearly 74 percent increase since the President took office..."
