Imagine spending $3 trillion dollars. No, really. Don’t think it’s possible? Ask George Bush . $3 trillion is the projected cost of the Iraq War according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and Harvard lecturer Linda Bilmes . This coming May 23rd, John Cusack puts this ridiculous sum into play with the new satirical live-action cartoon, War, Inc . Cusack directs and stars in the film — along with Hillary Duff, Marisa Tomei, Dan Aykroyd , and Ben Kingsley .
But here’s the thing — you’re probably still not grasping (I didn’t either) the full extent to what $3 trillion would mean to this country. That’s why Cusack is pushing everyone to visit this new site he discovered called 3Trillion.org . From his blog,

As writer/producer/star of War, Inc. Cusack wants to make a statement about the ven... more
