The priority list

Looking to put together the list of what the cost of various initiatives are v/s what they cost us each year. Please contribute:

1) Health care cost 2.1T, waste 700B/yr (http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/triage/2008/10/700-billion---.html)

2) Illegal Immigration, cost 10B/yr (http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html -- 2002 data)

3) Spent 475B in 2008 (http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS194048+13-Jan-2009+BW20090113)

This should read "spent 475B on foreign oil in 2008". Agree, illegal immigration costs seems small compared to other issues.
