GWB sent billions in $100 dollar bills to the Iraqi war zone back in 2003.
I did not know this.

“Who in their right mind would send 363 tons of cash into a war zone? But that’s exactly what our government did,” the California Democrat said during a hearing reviewing possible waste, fraud and abuse of funds in Iraq.
On December 12, 2003, $1.5 billion was shipped to Iraq, initially “the largest pay out of U.S. currency in Fed history,” according to an e-mail cited by committee members.
It was followed by more than $2.4 billion on June 22, 2004, and $1.6 billion three days later. The CPA turned over sovereignty on June 28.

They put the cash in garbage trucks b/c the road to Baghdad from the airport was a war zone and US trucks were targets.

Did that money just sit in someone's basement? Of course it was going to be abused.
