6. Some 4-year figures--- think of it! (And take action-- link)


51.6 million people with health care for four years OR
#

181.2 million homes with renewable electricity for four years OR
#

2.9 million elementary school teachers for four years OR
#

27 million four-year scholarships for university students

$700 billion is more than what is currently allocated for the U.S. war in Iraq. This amount would allow us to repair all of our nations 77,000 deteriorated bridges and still have $519 billion to spend; or it would allow us to rebuild all of our nations 33,000 deteriorating schools and still have $664 billion to spend.
