Disability and War...

So far according to the Northampton-based National Priorities Project. The war in Iraq has cost $247,191,869,001 as of 2:28 PM today. My own personal care assistance bill is $60,313.76 a year. I use more services than most people in the state, receiving 107 hours a week. My personal care assistants make good money at $10.84 per hour, about $2 more per hour than PCA’s in most of the country. The cost of war would pay for 4,098,484 years. That’s over 20 times the amount of American nursing home... Sign in to see full entry.
