The cost of the war in Afghanistan in priorities at home that are neglected.
10/06/2009
What would the $10 billion to $40 billion extra that 40,000 additional troops would cost buy here in the US to meet urgent needs at home. At $10 billion it could send two million disadvantaged children to a solid preschool, and at $40 billion it could, over 10 years, pay for half the cost of health care reform. And that is not counting the estimated $60 billion it takes to maintain the current trrop level.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
