Isn't it amazing? I heard in the BBC that half of the world population lives with just US$1.00 a day. I think "survives" is a more appropriate term.

They also said that some cows in Europe receive a US$2.00 daily subsidy from their governments, just because they exist. Isn't that contrast obcene?

And then Bush spends US$1,000'000,000.00 each week to keep his troops in Iraq. And why were they sent there in the first place? To rid Saddam of his weapons of mass destruction cause they pose an inminent and unacceptable threat to the Americans' way of life. Okay, five months have passed since the war ended... where are the massive amounts of WMD that Saddam supposedly possesed? Not even minute amounts have been found.

What a waste of money. If Bush has money to burn like that, he should make better use of it. Instead of using it to overthrow bad rulers abroad (that's the Iraqis problem, after all), maybe he should implement a universal medical insurance system for his own people, or improve the school system in the States.

... or even better, if he has that much money to burn, why not feed the hungry and cure the sick in the developing world? Or help demine places like Cambodia and Afghanistan? Or invest in medical research?

Oh well, it's American taxpayers' money anyway.
