Sometimes it's important to keep numbers in perspective. "Millions" is nothing when it comes to the US budget.

Yes, I'll gladly pay my $1 to see these people get what's coming.

My guess is that a school near you is firing teachers because there is not enough money. So let me put the equation this way: abolish the death penalty and provide better educations by keeping teachers on the job or keep killing people and provide worse educations because teachers must be fired.
