Foreign aid for example. We give Isreal about 4 Billion per year. With a population of 6.9 million that works out to about $5,800 that we give them per person per year!!! Whats up with that?
Of course, that's a relative bargain compared to Bush saying he want $800 Billion for the Iraq/Afgan war Iraq 25, 400,000 citizena, Afghanistan 28,513,000
CIA World Fact Book
That works out to about $14,800 per citizen of those two countries that were spending on the war.
The State of California (me actually, since I pay more than enough taxes to pay their tuition) spends $7,200 per child on K-12 education.
Oh, and I'm a Republican to boot!
