Prop 32 "Paycheck Protection"

By Nick and Jordan

Prop. 30


The following infographic is about Prop. 30 and how it wil affect school funding.

Proposition 33 gives insurance companies the privilege to set prices to the customer, based on their insurance history, rewarding loyalty to the insurance company.

Proposition 37

Here are four infographics, two pro and two con, about Proposition 37.
by Brian Elder and Sreypich Pheng
(infographics not by us, post by us)

This is an infographic that is primarily pro prop 37. Except for the title, it is not overly burdened with opinions.


Another one, even less opinionated, showing the raw numbers of people supporting the proposition.


An inforgraphic against prop 37, showing how prop 37 will increase costs, and presenting it in a more comprehensible form.

A fairly recent infographic, judging by the date it states. It is against prop 37, also mostly about increasing prices. Of course, it doesn't give numbers.  ;)

Costs of Major US Wars Equivalent to Present Day

Brian E, Ian L.



We are amazed at the cost of World War II. We thought that the war in the Middle East was the most expensive, and we are glad that the United States didn’t spend that much money on this most recent war in the Middle East.



Break Down of Major US Wars: Cost and Soldiers

American Revolution 1775-1783

Opinion: War has evolved since the creation of this country. From the musket to the nuclear bomb, war has become more deadly and more expensive. With the evolution of arms, the need for personnel has gone down, and the cost of arms has increased. For every other war before the 1960’s, the deadliness of the average soldier was less, therefore, the need for more soldiers has decreased, and the cost to train a soldier has increased. We don’t need as many soldiers as before because of the innovations in technology.
