I'm looking up the cost of various wars to see how much they cost the U.S., and then convert to today's dollars.

Suggestions?

Get lots of zeros.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Thanks all. I actually found a gub'mint publication that had all the figures I needed in original dollars and 2011 dollars, so I didn't need the web site. And in academic circles, gub'mint sources are considered respectable. Go figure.  =)



Ya know, I might need it later. So any suggestions would be great.
