If you divide the war budget ($452,000,000,000) by the number of people living in Iraq (26,000.000), we've spent $17,000 on the "liberation" of every man woman and child in the country.....most of whom oppose our "support"
The Feed the Children program can provide food, school supplies, and medical aid to one child in Africa for about 20 dollars a month...thats 240 dollars per year....which means we could have provided support to every man woman and child in Africa for 2.7 years.
Other ways to spend $452,000,000,000
22,000,000 Hybrid Cars (@ 20,000 each)
75,333 years worth of research at the National Cancer Institute
90 years worth of AIDS research (based on what was approved for the 2006 budget)
Could re-build New Orleans and the gulf coast 2260 times.
Anybody else feeling sick yet ?
