A question remains.
Are these our issues?
Consider the following…

But…
Reproductive health care for all women in
the world would cost only $12
billion.
In Europe and United States they spend $17 billion on pet food
annually
But…
Elimination of hunger
and malnutrition
globally would cost
only $19 billion.
Globally we spend $15 billion on perfumes
But…
Universal literacy would cost only $5 billion.
Globally we spend $14 billion on ocean cruises
But…
Clean drinking water for all would cost $10 billion.
Europeans spend $11 billion on ice cream every year
But…
immunizing every child on the planet would cost $1.3 billion.
I’ll ask again…
Are theses our issues?
