What War Costs Mississippi

We all know that the war is costing the US lots of cash but just thought I would let Mississippi know what could have been done for the state with this money.


Taxpayers in Mississippi will pay $1.8 billion for the cost of the Iraq War through 2007. For the same amount of money, the following could have been provided:

399,174 People with Health Care OR

1,313,801 Homes with Renewable Electricity OR

56,769 Public Safety Officers OR

35,083 Music and Arts Teachers OR

385,648 Scholarships for University Students OR

122 New Elementary Schools OR

26,134 Affordable Housing Units OR

1,046,075 Children with Health Care OR

295,841 Head Start Places for Children OR

36,414 Elementary School Teachers OR

Now where do you think the money should have been spent?
