Well, your link didn't work, but I'm assuming that you are talking about military expenditures, since this is the military section. The "tone" of your question has an a priori assumption that whatever you were going to show us would shock us. (At least that's how I was led to believe.)
Let me give you a brief history lesson of the military expenditures from our budgets since the 1940's:
The defense budget, currently 3.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), is well within historic norms as a percentage of GDP. In every year from 1941 to 1994, except for 1948, the United States spent over 4 percent of GDP on national security.
Therefore, we are well within accepted norms. And remember, Bush had a highly domestic agenda prior to 9/11/2001. The military expenditures were a lot lower then than they are now. And we merely responded in kind. (Naturally some Kool Aid drinkers will say that Iraq has nothing to do with that, but I take exception, since Hussein housed terrorists, and funded others, including the Palestinians.)

After I read some of the questions and some of the answers on this forum. The money needs to go for education. What a bunch of illiterates who can't put a thought into a simple sentence.
Right now our money goes to Taxes and Gas w/ taxes.Pretty soon we all will need three jobs one to pay . taxes one to pay for our gas too and from work and one to pay the rest of our bills!
