Eradicating poverty worldwide costs less than $200 billion a year. The USA alone spends well over $600 billion a year on military and war. Our country should pledge $100 billion annually to end world poverty and we should engage every country on the planet to commit to funding the remaining amount. Challenging other major military super powers, such as China and Russia, to match our commitment to end world poverty would go a long way to ensure peace across the globe.
