[quote=CANADAGUY,255574]The economic costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are estimated to total $1.6 trillion — roughly double the amount the White House has requested thus far, according to a new report by Democrats on Congress' Joint Economic Committee. According to World Bank estimates, $30 billion would provide a year of primary education for every child on earth while $54 billion a year would eliminate starvation and malnutrition globally by 2015, At the upper range of those estimates, the $1.6 trillion cost of the wars could have fed and educated the world's poor for more than 15 years!
