To get an idea of how they have changed over time see
that's as a percentage of national income, if you change it to real dollars then the military spending line would be higher now then in Korea, but the social spending line would be so high you couldn't fit a monitor that could display it in your house or office. If it was represented by a rigid line made of solid material you would probably have to put one of those blinking aircraft warning lights on it.

Interesting.....what social programs are included under social programs? Does the defense figure include spending for the Iraqi war.....after all, that's been kept outside the regular defense budget?
