Yesterday in the News & Observer newspaper of North Carolina, there was an article on our country hitting a ONE TRILLION DOLLARS tab for the war in Iraq! What would you do with a trillion dollars? Can you even imagine that amount of money or anything? Why aren’t Americans outraged?
Rob Simpson hired some assistants and spent a year in research resulting in the slim book What We Could Have Done With the Money: 50 Ways to Spend the Trillion Dollars We’ve Spent on Iraq.
A few ideas from him: Pave the entire U.S. interstate highway system with 23.5 karat gold leaf; give every high school student in the U.S. a free college education; it could buy a Buick for every senior citizen still driving in the USA; it could double the 663,000 cops on the beat for 32 years; it could build 75 million solar-powered homes (eliminating the need for oil and war in Iraq.)
More? Check it out, google: What we could have done with the money.
