Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 THE HIGH PRICE OF IDEALISM. Joe Stiglitz says the Iraq War will cost about $1 trillion if you're optimistic. Jeff Sachs says that ending poverty worldwide would, if other countries followed America's lead, require US government expenditures of about $60 billion per year. Even if other countries refused to up their foreign aide in response to an America-led poverty-eradication campaign, it only would have cost about $130 billion a year. http://www.prospect.org/weblog/archives/2006/04/index.html#009736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
