Re:

>>> You ARE aware, aren't you, that discressionary spending is running at TWICE the annual rate Clinton posted, during this Bush administration? (And, contrary to assertions, increased military spending - which was only approved in October of last year - and '9-11 expenses' account for far less than 50% of the increased spending so far.)

do you have a breakdown of discretionary numbers from 1996-present to track where the money is going?

Military and 9/11 costs have to be the largest increases by a wide margin. 9/11 cost what, 80 billion?
