A trillion dollars is a nearly unfathomable amount of money. WHAT WE COULD HAVE DONE WITH THE MONEY puts this number into context and demonstrates how our tax dollars could have been spent differently to address other critical issues our country is facing.
Social Security, Medicare, Education, the Environment--these are just a few of the things that we didn′t try to fix with the $1,000,000,000,000 we spent on Iraq. Simpson entertainingly addresses 50 other ways we could have spent the money with each example carefully backed by research.
From alternative energy policy to combating the growing menace of Anti-Americanism--WHAT WE COULD HAVE DONE WITH THE MONEY succinctly, informatively, and engagingly highlights what we could have accomplished if our national priorities were different.
