Cost of immigration to Americans.\n\nILLEGAL IMMIGRATION \ncuts into the wages of American Workers \nTo The Tune Of Some $ 200 Billion (With A "B") Annually\nAccording to Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), \nwho is head of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, \n"Massive immigration of low-skilled, low-wage workers\ndepresses wage rates \nfor people who are at the low economic end of the scale.\nThe overall effect will be \nthe decline of the living standard of every American, \nor most Americans." \n\nAccording to TNRIP, \nthe financial cost of this foreign invasion \nto U.S. taxpayers is staggering! \nHere is a break down of the annual costs: \n\nEducation: $22.5 billion \nBi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion \nAFDC: $2.4 billion \nSSI: $2.9 billion \nSocial Security: $24.8 billion \nHousing Assistance: $2.6 billion \nCriminal Justice: $2.6 billion J\nobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion \nOther Programs: $51.4 billion \nFood Stamps: $7 billion \nHealth Care: $1.4 billion \n\n(That Totals $131.7 BILLION Annually Folks)\nhttp://prisonplanet.com/articles/april20... \n\nThis Estimate Does NOT Include \nThe Some $39 Billion (Again With A "B") \nUNTAXED US Dollars Exported Annually \nIn The Form Of Remittances \n\n($39 Billion Is Exported ANNUALLY To MEXICO ALONE\nBILLIONS Of More US Dollars \nAre Exported To Nations OTM \nBy ILLEGAL ALIENS To Their Families At Home)\n\nILLEGAL ALIENS OF ANY RACE / Nationality

Depends what measuring stick you use.  We (the US) have more major sports than anyone else and tend to spend a lot more money on them.

The math illiteracy displayed by these answers is astounding!  Only Aug and Rosey got it right.  I'm very scared for the future of this country based on the responses and totally illogical 'reasoning' given by all the doofuses who are saying the 12 ounce can is the better buy.  DO THE MATH PEOPLE!\n\nHere's another way to look at this:  What if I wanted to buy 24 ounces of this drink?  I could buy two 12-oz cans or three 8-oz cans.\n\n2 * $4.95 = $9.90 for 24 oz.\n3 * $3.25 = $9.75 for 24 oz.\n\nTherefore the 8-oz can is the better deal.  Simple, right?

Scandinavia. And it's about 70 dollars per litre. And you people are complaining. Hell... The gas prices in the United States are amongst the lowest in the whole world.

ALL ESTIMATES ARE ROUGHLY\nOil\nSpent in USA\n$100-150 billion every year on crude oil\nUsed in USA\n60 billion gallons of petroleum diesel\n120 billion gallons of gasoline\n\nBiodiesel\n\nTo grow the "feedstocks"\n$80,000 per hectare for algal ponds\n3.85 million hectares of algae ponds would be need to replace all petroleum transportation fuels with biodiesel\n$308 Billion just to build the farms\n\nOperating cost\n$12,000 per hectare\n$46.2 billion per year to yield all the oil feedstock necessary for the entire country\n\nI will add more fuel later must go watch TV now\n***EDIT***\nOk I am back, it turn out that makeing ethanol and biodiesel are around the exact same cost.  But I doubt that they will ever be a realistic source of fuel.\n\n I found this and thought you might find it interesting\n""...but producing ethanol or biodiesel from plant biomass is going down the wrong road, because you use more energy to produce these fuels than you get out from the combustion of these products.""\n\nStudies done everywhere show that cost and disposal of the bi-products are going to be a problem, plus energy wise its just not worth it.  They are working on these problems trying to figure something out to make it more feasible.\n\nIn terms of energy output compared with energy input for ethanol production, the study found that: \n\ncorn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; \nswitch grass requires 45 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; and \nwood biomass requires 57 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced. \n\nIn terms of energy output compared with the energy input for biodiesel production, the study found that: \n\nsoybean plants requires 27 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, and \nsunflower plants requires 118 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.

In 2003, health care spending in the United States reached $1.7 trillion, and was projected to reach $1.8 trillion in 2004. \n\nHealth care spending is 4.3 times the amount spent on national defense. \n\nIn 2003, the United States spent 15.3 percent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on health care. It is projected that the percentage will reach 18.7 percent in 10 years. \n\nAlthough nearly 45 million Americans are uninsured, the United States spends more on health care than other industrialized nations, and those countries provide health insurance to all their citizens. \n\nHealth care spending accounted for 10.9 percent of the GDP in Switzerland, 10.7 percent in Germany, 9.7 percent in Canada and 9.5 percent in France, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. \n\nTotal out-of-pocket spending on health care rose $13.7 billion, to $230 billion in 2003.

Well Alcohol is a little lighter than water, and 1 gram of water is 1 mililiter.\n\nThere are 473 mililiters in 1 US pint so there are a little less than 473 grams of alcohol in a pint.\n\nNow keep in mind, your typical vodka is only 40% alcohol, wine is about 12% and most american beer is 3-5%.\n\nSo to get 30 grams of alcohol you would need to drink approximately 2 12 ounce american beers.

The nation benefits enormously from our good and bad habits. Tobacco and alcohol generate more money than I can imagine in tax revenue. Take a look at the money spent on fast food, junk food and processed foods. I'd say the money spent there has definitely boosted our economy and created millions of jobs. Not only do we spend our money on the junk we then pay for the health care needed from eating it. Bad habits = big bucks. On the flip side,   look at the price of nutritious un processed or organic foods. It costs a lot more to eat healthy foods. Fitness is another big buck market. A good pair of running shoes will cost almost 100.00 these days although many are now produced outside the country. Habits are things we love and things we're willing to spend money on. I'm writing this as I sip a glass of wine another habit that gets the money flowing.
