If the government used the tax money that came from Suffolk Country alone for things other than the Iraq war, these are the goods that could have been provided domestically:
Health care for 122,148 people for a whole year
Homes with renewable electricity for one year for 1,240,078 people.
Public Safety officers for one year for 12,783 people.
10,087 Music and art teachers for one year
108,087 scholarships for University students for one year
3,765 affordable housing units
231,459 children with Health Care for one year
2,671 Elementary teachers for one year .....
This is just for one County. Imagine what the numbers would be with many more.
