DOES THIS SHOCK YOU?
300 MILLION A DAY?
YOU AS AN AMERICAN ARE PAYING FOR IT.
BUT YOU'RE TOO BUSY WATCHING "AMERICAN IDOL" OR
BEING DISTRACTED BY OTHER MEDIOCRE ACTIVITIES TO CARE.
YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH YOUR CIGARETTES, ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR OTHER ESCAPES TO DO ANYTHING.
WHAT COULD BE DONE IN THE USA WITH JUST THAT AMOUNT SPENT IN ONE DAY?
*SCHOOLS COULD BE BUILT AND FURNISHED WITH THE MOST UP TO DATE EQUIPMENT TO STIMULATE EAGER MINDS THAT COULD SOLVE THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS
*ENTREPRENEURS COULD START BUSINESSES THAT WOULD GIVE EMPLOYMENT TO THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS TO THE CHINESE
*MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD OUTRAGEOUS HEALTH CARE COSTS AND GO WITHOUT COULD BE GIVEN A FRESH START
*PROGRAMS TO DIRECT ALIENATED YOUNG PEOPLE TO CAREERS INSTEAD OF GANGS COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN EVERY CITY
*SOLUTIONS COULD BE FOUND FOR SOLAR, WASTE CONVERSION OR MAGNETIC/ELECTRIC POWER TO REPLACE THE DEPENDENCY ON FOREIGN OIL
$300 MILLION A DAY.
CONGRESS HAS NO PROBLEM VOTING FOR BILLIONS FOR WAR.
WHAT HAVE THEY EVER DONE TO MAKE AMERICA BETTER THAT IS NOT
CONNECTED WITH A WAR?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO TRY AND MAKE THINGS CHANGE?
