With $656 billion—the direct cost of the war in Iraq since 2003—we could have:

  • Brought to “good condition” all of America’s deteriorating public structures—bridges and roads, airports and railroads, schools and parks, water and sewer systems; or
  • Paid for a college education for every high school graduate over the next decade; or
  • Eliminated hunger worldwide.
