What could we have done with the money spent to date on the Iraq war? Have you ever wondered? Well, here’s where you can see a counter telling you the cost of the war as it increments.
Then you can click a few links, and find out how many public school teachers could have been hired, how many children could have been provided full heath insurance, how many college scholarships could have been provided, and more.
Never mind that the war in question is as morally wrong as the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, or Lebanon by Israel. That’s not the point I’m making here. Even if you believe the war was justified, you should still think about the priorities. America has limited resources, and we are burning them in Iraq at an amazing rate.
What would you do with $300 billion? Would you invade and occupy another nation, or would you see our nation have health care for its citizens? Just another thing to ponder.
National Priorities, indeed.
