What Will $456 billion buy you?

[arch571332]

He's wright but has the wrong solution.

Ethonal from corn actually uses more enegy to produce than what the Ethonal generates. Its not sustainable, however....

....hemp seed oil is sustainable by leaps and bounds. Cenks heart is in the right place, he just picked the wrong product.

Additionally, US is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. US government just wants to control the oil for its own sake.

[darkblood626]

You know what I would buy if I had that money The government.

I got the computer of that guy!

[MrVeggie247]

HEY WAKE UP u goddamn pink knights! forget the western world has always been able to save the third world. But power is in hands of the rich, and when u americans go and vote u can't even think straight because the transformers movie theme IS STILL IN THAT HEAD!!

[bbphnix]

so, the US sucks, the politicians are war-mongers, and the world is totally fucked up; what's new?

If the whole world was very educated and informed and this kind of shit still continued, there would a looooooooooooooooooot of suicides; cause this shit's depressing

[mvdiablo]

I would buy the fastest jet in the world and just chill in it and smoke weed...

[rater5432]

We need to get of Iraq Its there fight we don't need to be like the worlds police!

[MikeEmery9]

It could buy congress

[painsey]

hookers, beer and guns yay thats what i would spend it on

[alampandatennisrack]

america is fucked

[BurlingtonNorthernRy]

What the f@#k are we still doing in Iraq and Afghanistan, someone send this to Congress and all personnel up there!?

Oh wait, no one makes any money off these projects... *Punches wall angrily...*

[megabenx6]

Someone kill me in war D:< At least I have a reason to believe what a waste that was

[mtb416]

I am NOT advocating war. I'm advocating the idea that WAR WILL NEVER BE OBSOLETE and is often necessary. To fight wars you need military. Why do you think Pakistan asked the China how to build a nuclear bomb? To increase political power. Why do you Iran is clamoring for one right now? To increase their political power. These powers work in tandem! My crystal ball, known as "history", tells me this is true.

Our military might gives us much of this power. Welcome to reality.

[WolfenGamer69]

@mtb416 war is already obsolete... lol..... people are just too stupid to realize this. and were just to violently natured sadly. (im no exception) xD

[mtb416]

Why? The simple answer is because we're the world's police. Lots of people hate this. And you know what? So do I! However, it seems to be necessary. I wish we weren't at war in Iraq or Afghanistan, but that is not to say we shouldn't or wouldn't be at war with some place else.

In the 21st century is seems as though the West is completely unable to accept war. We got here through war. We are who we are because of war. "Show me peace, and I'll show you a war."

[mtb416]

But who would get rid of terrorists and sick, demented dictators? France? Pakistan? lmfao

I'm not for war, but it blows my f'in mind how people do not understand that do not live in some carefree, safe world. Go look at studies of global murder rates. You will see that after America helped to win the 2ND world war and became a true superpower (in terms of economy and military) that global murder rates, mostly those from wars, both domestic and international, have dropped ENORMOUSLY.

[mostafa9mm]

well because obviously the politicians wanted oil and money to go into there pockets they can fucking care less about its own people, soldiers, and the innocent iraqi men women and children.

[TheBazarak]

this is why war is stupid

[TehNumberOneTroll]

i dont understand how we dont have money for stuff when we make the actual money, why dont they just print out the money the country needs to do all this shit, i mean im sure thers a legit answer and reason and im sure some smart ass is gonna pwn me on this but just think about it

[Mudrabbit308]

@TehNumberOneTroll money is a note from a main reserve that a certain country has. that main reserv is in gold & a country has only so much gold. i dnt know much but money is the main exchange tool bc ppl cnt b hunking gold everywer...

on another topic, gold aint nun but a rock....yet they criticize crack heads bc they value they lives so much on a rock...sounds funny but in actuality, thats the same concept.

[daviddaaannggg]

@TehNumberOneTroll money doesn't work like that AT ALL. printing money doesn't mean shit because it's about the value of the money not the paper. the more money printed... the less value they actually have. it's a lot more complex than you think

[MichaelLaigh]

What a sickening study...

[PandaMagicFTW]

Honestly, I don't really care what they do with the money. It's not my money, it's theirs, and they can do what ever they want with it. I'm not saying they shouldn't help people, it's just that its their money, and they can used it which every way they want.

[ishaq79]

I just love this guy... he talk so real with out giving a shit to any one...

[masterman3178]

we could have paid off every drug lord and criminal on the planet and gave ourselves world peace i also read that with that money could have built up the space station enough to house 2 million people or put 500 scientists on mars

[rosen00000]

456 billion ?

well just give 1 million dollars on to each of the starving people, and then use the rest to educate the people. if theres somthing left after that use it to treat the sick and injured people.

[mikewylde69]

I Can't hear Shit Like This

[13elsyd13]

@PearceCTV we would

[tejasjayaraman]

i really doubt those figures. where does he get them from. seems like shock marketing

[hitchjr]

I can't understand how Bush and his cronies can sleep after hearing numbers like that.

Anyone against the Canadian involvement in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq please visit the Myspace for the new Canadian anti war movement  myspace. com/bethecure2008 (website to come soon).

remove the space between the (.)dot and the word "COM"

Peace.

[mrgrieves9876]

you could buy 456 billion cheeseburgers

[stubbytexasranger]

@mrgrieves9876 456 billion DOUBLE cheeseburgers even!

[yovillehacker10000]

@mrgrieves9876 455 billion include tax xD

[bbphnix]

@mrgrieves9876 which would mean 67 cheeseburgers per person, worldwide

[AK47VSM162010]

@mrgrieves9876 and drop them all over the world :D

[Unleaded123]

Or we could by 5 million Telsa Roadsters ;-)

[xxashyy]

Notice Cenk didnt say " we could take that money and better Americans" He said the world or the "Global community".. I like some of Cenks points of view, but sometimes he comes from a hard left utopian point of view.

[studio7manga]

We are all humans are we not? I don't see what's so hard left about caring about people. Jesus would be on that side, but nah that dude was just some anti authoritarian hippy with long hair that hung out with prostitutes...

[xxashyy]

Its amazing!! Cenk says we are wasting money in Iraq, but on the other hand he says we should spent it "Globally"!!?? WTF!?! Are money should be spent here in America, not feeding the world which is impossible and ridiculous. I'm sick of my tax money being wasted in other countries. If Cenk wants to spent HIS money in Africa let HIM do it.

..

[Ptenle]

you know, this is everyones world and thats pretty selfish, because what you say spending it here in america is affecting everyone's world...

[Tylonous]

He was just saying that's what we could have done, not what we should do.

[DblOSmith]

Even if you look at it as a selfish american, With that amount of money we could have totally revamped our healthcare system to run on a single information transferrable system thus laying the infrastructure for universal US healthcare system that could also be paid for it. It's ridiculous.

[themightylex]

it boogles the mind.
