Monday Meme

I think that most reasonable people agree that war is bad, education is good, and military spending is really high.  That is not what this meme is about.  This is about pounding the latest progressive narrative into the collective unconscious...free education!  1. Nothing is free.  2.  This meme does not present a solution.

Let's do the math: Global military spending per year is approximately 2 trillion dollars...or 44 billion dollars every 8 days.  There are about 150 million 5 year olds in the world so let's provide just that group of children with 12 years of "free","quality" education.  44,000,000,000÷150,000,000÷12=$24.44 per child per year.  I don't think that will work.  BTW - there are in fact 365 little tanks in the meme but 9 are highlighted, not 8.  You would think they could at least get that part right.  68,78,53,0,B
