In just the first two weeks of the conflict with Iran, the U.S. has spent a jaw-dropping $12 billion. To put that into perspective, this amount could provide yearly child care for approximately 900,000 children. Imagine for a moment, the impact that would have on families struggling to make ends meet with child care costs averaging over $13,000 annually.Not only that, but that $12 billion could also cover the annual salaries of about 166,000 teachers.
