There's no money for education and health care but they'll always find some for war.

      At that scale money doesn’t actually exist. It’s just agreements between banks and nations.

      $14 billion is like $40 bucks per American. Might be able to buy a toothbrush and some bandaids with that healthcare money.

        I’m not sure if my math is correct, but it’s more like 4 cent per American. 14 million divided by 331.9 million gets 0.0421.
