The True Cost of Military Equipment Spending (and what else it could have bought!)

Cost of Military
From: MilitaryEducation.org


Three thousand average household incomes = cost of JUST ONE F-22 Raptor?
Nearly ten thousand family health insurance plans = cost of JUST ONE F-22 Raptor?

Around 17 average household incomes = ONE cruise missile?

Just over ONE MILLION average household incomes are spent on the US Nuclear Weapons Program EVERY YEAR?



Now...think on THIS:
The total cost of hunger to American society is said to be about $90 billion a year.
In contrast, it would only cost about $10 billion to $12 billion a year to virtually end hunger in our nation.

10 B-2 Stealth Bombers = one year's worth of a well-fed (not hungry) America!!

(Rumor has it that the US Air Force has 20 B-2 Stealth Bombers in active service.)
