sasha1 | Jul 5, 2013. I have a mountain of potato salad left over from a party yesterday. Not mayo based. Potatoes, marinated veggies, and a mustard vinagrette. We are leaving town for 2 wks.
How much does it cost to solve world hunger? World hunger can be eradicated. A price has been set and estimated by the United Nations to solve this crisis â $30 billion a year. It may seem like a large sum of money, but when compared to the U.S. defense budget â $737 billion in 2012 â $30 billion seems more attainable.
Joseph Stiglitz, former World Bank economist and others have estimated recently that the real cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars at the end for the USA alone will be in the range $4 trillion to $6 trillion. To put matters into perspective the United Nations considers that $30 billion a year would end world hunger. Therefore for the average of $5 trillion, why not end world hunger for 167 years? But these Wars have cost the UK dearly also and some place the costs at the end to over Â£100 billion (or around $150 billion).
