20. War is costing a billion a day

"not including increased gas prices".........

The price for gas, for drivers in U.S. has already increased a buck a gallon.......and that translates into:

350 MILLION DOLLARS MORE,.......PER DAY,......... U.S. Drivers ARE PAYING AT THE PUMP........

And the price increase to Truckers & Trains for Diesel, and cost to airlines for Jet Fuel is even more outrageous...

PLUS, the increased Diesel prices, cause any merchandise carried by Trucks/Trains increases the price of anything we buy, on top of the inflation we are already experiencing.....Airlines are already beginning to charge more to passengers for the increased price of the airlines Jet Fuel

Oh, and the cost of the war they are saying is a Billion a Day, is a joke.........The fuel being used by Air planes and Naval ships per day, costs more than that amount..........and just think about the costs of bombs, missiles and munitions being used every every day.......
