As of August 2006, Portlanders have spent more than $370 million on the war in Iraq. For the same amount of money, we could have funded:
- More than 18,000 4-year scholarships at public universities in Oregon;
- Health insurance for nearly 223,000 Portland children;
- Nearly 50,000 Head Start students for 1 year;
- 6,000+ teachers for 1 year;
- More than 3,000 housing units in Portland.
