Need help -- Stats needed for Bush Protest

Well, stupidhead is coming to town for one of his $2,000 a plate fundraisers. There are a number of groups here who are organizing a protest to focus on Bush's priorites and who they exclude.

We want to make some flyers and a press kit that compares some of Bush's spending priorities to the concerns of middle America and the disenfranchised. We'd like to do this by comparison.

Can anybody provide stats/sources that compare $2,000 and/or $87B to the cost of:

- College tuition
- After-school care
- Feeding the hungry
- Cost of health care
- Teacher salaries
- Worker re-training
- Public Transportation
- etc.

Thanks in advance.
