Wrong article
From the Letters to the Editor in today's San Jose Mercury News:
"In order to stimulate the economy, President Bush wants to give individuals $600 at a total cost of $150 billion. Now, since the war in Iraq is costing us approximately $250 million a day, adding up to that $150 billion every six days, why not leave the Iraqis to solve their own problems themselves, and instead of spending our money there, give everyone $600 once a week? That will save us $250 million a week, stimulate the economy big time and save lives as well."
250,000,000 x 6 = 150,000,000,000?
Maybe this should have been included in the Reader's Digest article last month on teachers helping students in California cheat on achievement tests.
