This makes me physically ill...

From Truthout:

"There's no question that war spending for Iraq and Afghanistan will top $1 trillion after Obama's request is implemented. That's enough money to stretch - in dollar bills - from the earth to the sun. It's also enough to pay for ten years of universal primary education for all of the world's children, according to UN statistics."

And we're bickering over nickels and dimes in our school districts? Shameful, simply shameful.
