I'm fond of money - not that I am unusually greedy person in that respect - 'I like money in the sense that it is a good yardstick. What people are willing to pay for it is a direct reflection of how important is the product for those purchasing. There is a price to almost everything - and the price that reflects on the product itself, and the context as well as the buyer. If we hear that someone or other has to spend a week's pay on Foot Tanner, we come to conclusions quickly about that person. ultrasonic We also negative inferences ultrasonic about people who spend all their spare money on alcohol or cocaine. The context is also important of course. In almost every context nobody would pay more for a bottle of water than a Rolex - but if I die from lack of water in the desert we'll swap the water without thinking twice about Rolex. In the same way a reflection on personal spending person spending on national states reflects their priorities. We can assume that the Sudan - which spends 28% of its GDP on education - more than Somalia preeminence education spending 0.4% for that purpose. In the same way how much the state spends on prison health, weapons, police, ultrasonic foreign aid, system benefits, pensions and so says a lot about it - in terms of its values or its joint text, or a combination of both. A country that has a relatively old population as Japan is bound to spend more on the elderly than young population as one with Iran.
This brings us to the wars. These exercises surprisingly expensive. A antics US in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the years after 9/11 cost a total of $ 2 trillion them. It is possible in the long-term costs of the wars that are three times that much in the end. In case anyone is unsure of his driliynnau there is zero in 12 trillion - $ 2,000,000,000,000 so is the total .. That equates to $ 6,500 for every single person who lives in the USA, or $ 300 for all who living on the Earth. About a third of the population live on the World $ 2 a day or less. Afghanistan war cost Britain ultrasonic so far is about the country 38bn. This is a significant amount of money - it equates to approximately 2,000 for every household in the UK. It would be enough money to pay for 5,000 nursus throughout their careers for example. It is similar to the Proposed cost of the plan to build HS2 high-speed rail - around 42.5bn. (So every family in Wales paid over 2,000 for a plan that will not bring any economic benefits to the country by the way). The ships carry awerynnau which have been ordered by the navy is likely to cost around 5.2bn. ultrasonic
How does this compare with our own little expenditure ?. Well, the total budget for this year is Assembly 14.5bn. The cuts in S4C's budget around 25m of the total expenditure of about 100m three years ago. Cost of MPs expenses Westminster is 98.1m - more than was spent when the scandal broke expenses by the Telegraph. ultrasonic As S4C's budget has been cut expenses is the person responsible for this increase. The cost of running the House of Commons in London is 200.5m, about half will go on MPs' expenses. Most MPs' expenses will be spent on staff, and about a quarter of those MPs expenses using money to hire members of their own family. The total is very similar to the actual cost of keeping the Royal Family - an organization which costs 112 times presidency Ireland. The cost of employing people to translate the records of the Assembly would be around 200,000 to 350,000 - less than half the cost of the Cruise missiles were thrown Cameron want in their twenties to mid mess Syria. The annual saving of tax bedroom (according to the UK government) would be 505m. Plans are being considered for upgrading toilets Westminster is 100, 000. This does nothing beside plans to upgrade Westminster as a whole - it will cost around 1.5bn. It was often to unionist in Wales in the National Assembly building disposal that have cost about 67m. A little paint and plaster put on Westminster for cost 22 times the amount paid for raising a property of the Assembly. You will not hear the same people are squealing about that. The above comparison is unfair on several counts of course. ultrasonic No one said - 'Well Ian Paisley Jnr is more important than the Welsh Assembly record' (Ian cost more to maintain than a full translation service would probably). The decisions are made by two
