Other Things Iraq War Funding Can Pay For - AP Congress and President Bush have so far provided $119.4 billion for the war in Iraq. Here are examples of what else that money could buy. 1. It could send 748,495 people to Harvard University for four years. 2. Or send 2,806,506 people to the average-priced public university for four years 3. Or buy a median U.S. home — median price $174,100, according to National Association of Realtors — for 685,813 people 4. Or buy a Cadillac Escalade ESV sport utility vehicle at the list price of $58,360 for 2,045,922 people In Addition: 1. $119.4 billion is about equal to the total incomes earned in 2003 by all the residents of Vermont ($19 billion), North Dakota ($18.5 billion), Wyoming ($16.4 billion), Alaska ($21.8 billion), South Dakota ($22.3 billion), and Montana ($22.6 billion), using figures from the Commerce Department (news - web sites)'s Bureau of Economic Analysis. 2. 119.4 billion $1 bills, with each bill 6.14 inches long, laid out end to end would stretch around the equator 465 times. 3. It would take 3,785 years to spend $119.4 billion at the rate of $1 per second every day. story.news.yahoo.com Bottom Line: The Iraq war was a waste of time and money. When so many people are losing their jobs and their homes, money could have been better spent to pay off the mortgage for 685,813 families. (See first item 3).
