What can $700 buy today?
Here are some ideas:
4 weeks worth of groceries for a family of 3,
2 airline tickets from Colorado to Pennsylvania with a 10 day notice,
6 tanks of gas if you drive an Escalade,
a small flat screen TV on sale (minus the cable bill),
the annual salary of 3 people in Ethiopia,
the cost to build 1/10 of a church in the mission fields
BUT,
in the United States of America, this is what it cost for JUST THE TEXTBOOKS to attend THREE CLASSES at a COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!! THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE TUITION!!!
Is it any wonder that the disparity between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger each day?
