So while i was searching around for information on the amount of money that was spent on the war in Iraq i came upon this website that literally has a counter that counts the amount of money that is being spent as we speak. If you look to the top left of my blog you will find that counter. It changes so quickly. You could break it down like this...$4,681 per household. $1,721 per person. $341.4 million per day.
i got this little snippet from here. (You should really check out this site!!!!)
All that money could really be spent elsewhere. To get more in debt, that’s about 40 percent of taxes that is going into this war, while only 4, yes 4, percent went into education. I believe that if anything education should receive more than 4 percent. Receiving an education is way more important than fighting in a war. Students need knowledge that will allow them to succeed in the future so they could hopefully avoid conflicts such as war. If the money to teach is not available then that will mean fewer things to learn. That leaves about 56 percent for everything else that needs to be taken care of.
