Quit wasting my damned money!

[livejournal.com profile] bluegargantua linked to this photoessay on the war funding.

Some of the numbers are just silly, like computing the number of millenia one could employ Dice-K at his present salary. Some of it is eye-opening, like noting we could have converted every car in the US to run on E-85 ethanol for much less than this war has cost.

But when I got to the bit where they estimate that for the cost of this war we could have fed and educated the world's poor for five and a half years... I just cried.
