spending related to the war, as massive as it is, is probably miniscule next to overall spending of the nation.
Is it? (Alexx goes off and googles...)
War spending so far, approx .5 trillion, so call it .1 trillion per year.
US GNP in 2006: approx 13.13 trillion.
So the war is costing a little under 1% of the GNP. I wouldn't personally call that miniscule in this context, but one might.
