http://www.msnbc.com/news/961153.asp?0cv=CA00

This is on top of the $72 billion that the war has already cost.

What could be done with $140 billion?

Over 40,000,000 children could be provided with a year of health care.

or

14,000,000 children could attend a year of Head Start.

or

1,800,000 additional teachers could be hired for one year.

or

24,000,000 cars could be converted to natural gas.

or

1,400,000 affordable housing units could be built.
