It's Only Money

While I have not yet had time to really dive into the budget numbers, one huge point stands out.

Defense and security spending will likely run over 1.2 Trillion dollars. I have heard that the DOD budget will run over $500,000,000,000.00, and that will not include about $200,000,000,000.00 for the wars in the Middle East. Add to that something like $500,000,000,000.00 for homeland security.

$1,200,000,000,000.00 so we can 'feel safe', not be safe (since 100% security is absolutely unobtainable), but feel safe.

PS. After security, the next highest line item went to the department of Health and Human Services, with about 65 Billion, or 5% of the ammount we are spending on security.
