The Budget Committee holds a hearing, "The Growing Budgetary Costs of the Iraq War," to examine the impact of a sustained presence in Iraq and the additional "borrowing costs" of interest payments on the debt incurred. A total calculation through 2017 brings an estimate of $2.4 trillion. Rep. Lloyd Doggett questions the curious absence of Republican Members of Congress at the hearing.
