The U.S. could house hundreds of thousands of people who need it instead of pursuing war and seeking more money for its already massive trillion-dollar Pentagon budget.
Graphic comparing the cost of the ongoing war on Iran with housing assistance. The top half, over a grayscale image of barbed wire and cloudy skies, states: “The first six days of the war on Iran cost $11.3 billion.” The bottom half, over a photo of keys and colorful house models, states: “That’s more than enough to provide housing for everyone in a homeless shelter in the U.S. for a single year at $9.6 billion.” The bottom reads, “We need to reprioritize.” National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies logo appears at the bottom.
