Here's a great CD by RudePundit:
The San Fransisco Chronicle is reporting the largest library shutdown in the United States is about to happen. Here's the story in a nut-shell: Last fall, Congress failed to reauthorize a $400 million annual subsidy to 41 states to help rural counties prop up their local economies.
It's easy to condemn the congress for this action - but that's not what this post is about. I just want to point out that, depending on who you ask, the occupation of Iraq costs between nine and thirteen BILLION dollars a month.
That's right - billion. Per month.
According to the most conservative numbers, this breaks down to about 300 million dollars per day.
So for less than the cost of two days in Iraq, all those libraries could have stayed open.
Remember this the next time the nay-sayers claim we can't afford universal health care or decent schools. The occupation of Iraq isn't just wrong, we are stealing from ourselves.
Read counterpoint here.
