War Costs and Aricebo Observatory



We are spending about 7 million dollars per hour on the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Luckly, our children will be paying that debt down, not us. What little things are we giving up due to budget restrictions? How about the Arecibo Observatory Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico? It is likely to be shut down if they can't find 4 million dollars. That's just a bit more than what we are spending on 30 minutes of war.
