$ for war, $ for health . . . high dollars

WAR.
We broke the 4-minute million. As in dollars. I clocked it twice.
About every 3:56 minutes we waste $1,000,000 on war.
At 4pm CDT today we'd squandered
$908,653,700,000 in 8 years of war
Stop the killing, start the healing!

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
HEALTH.
$484,000,000,000 in estimated benefit payments for 2009 Medicare
. (from the July-Aug 2009 issue, AARP bulletin, pg 9)

Can't afford both now.
Shall we keep on killing people 8 time zones away?
Or shall we take care of the elders who took care of us, right here?
