The Cost of War

Think about it. That’s a lot of money.
Right now, there are approximately 300,165,581 people in the USA. That means this war has cost you over $11,300 so far. It works out to about $10 a day. What could that get you each day?
That’s just one month of spending ten bucks on random shit each day. You could give $70 to church or charity each week. Or, you could save up the money each month, and pay all your utilities. Or buy a video camera every month. Or you could save it all up for a year, and buy a decent used car. With the money you’ve spent on the war so far, you could have gotten a two year degree at a local community college. Or you cold have bought a newer car, or a flat-screen digital TV. There’s a lot of crap you could have bought with your share of the money.
But you didn’t, you spent it on the war in Iraq.
