Re: What if we spent our money more wisely...
at $60/month * 12 months * 8 years * 250million subscribers... the number is $1.56 TRILLION dollars
We Americans have the cash to make our lives better!
we really are wealthy! we just spend it on cell phones, cable tv, and starbucks. :edit: AND GASOLINE AND INSURANCE!! :edit:
if we focused our spending on solutions we'd have it made!
and these solutions are DURABLE.
people say we can't have excellent rail systems (like Germany or France) because it's too expensive. Well, $1.56 trillion bucks will buy a lot of rail. no development costs, the trains are already out there. just buy them!
add some of the cable tv money, and starbucks money and you easlity get to $3-5 TRILLION available over ten years.
(i know we're paying close to $100/month for cable!) |
