60 billion dollars to protect people who didn't even have chance to survive infanthood!

I just heard on NBC Nightly News that the US infant mortality rate has dropped to 41st in the world. Behind many Eastern European Countries and even Singapore. In the same broadcast it was also reported that 60 billion dollars was wasted on corruption, graft and incompetency in the Iraq and Afghanistan during the two wars. Before we were engaed in Iraq and Afghanistan, ten years ago, the US infant mortality rate was 29th in the world. Ironically, the US spends more money on pre -natal care than all but three other countries. My point here is not advocate more government spending on medical care, that's an argument for another day. Nor, am I criticizing America's war on terror. My point here is that awful lot money was spent in the past 10 years on medical care and defense and I don't know if we are any safer from terrorists and those same children we are trying to protect didn't even survive infanthood. Try to imagine if all the money we owe in the federal deficiet were actually spent properly on good prenatal care and efficient military operations and not skimmed by the middle men, politicians and all other sorts of corporate grifters that don't want to seem to pay there fair share in taxes? We have defeated a major international threat and would have had alot more children around to enjoy the protection that so many gave their life for. It  defies expalnation as to why there is not more outrage at the lack of accountaabilty as to where this money went.
