Would you rather pay for: .04 seconds of war, or 25 days of health care?

The average American sent $235 to Iraq in 2007, funding only 0.04 seconds of the war. That same tax tab could have paid for 25 days of health coverage for an uninsured American, 12 days of Head Start for a student, 5 days of higher education for an Iraq war veteran, or powered a home with renewable energy for 89 days.
