Let's see, which would have given us the most for our money...or the most protection from terrorists? Would it be...

A. the money we've spent so far in Iraq
B. 6,000,000 new teachers
C. 700 new elementary schools in EVERY state
D. 8,000,000 new police officers
E. 6,000,000 new port cargo inspectors
F. a year's worth of gas for EVERY American driver

I know which one I wouldn't have chosen!
