All the developed countries have universal health care and free education through college. Not us. Who're the fearful chumps falling behind in the economic race? Us, thanks to you and your fearful, manipulated sheeple buddies. We spend 10 times more than our nearest rival on defense. We spend 100 times more than the whole "axis of evil". Wake up!

Scroll down to the bar chart. Then answer WHY? That chart is 1995 spending. Now, the US is up to 399 billion/yr, not even counting the 200 billion we've blown on Iraq. Most of the rest of the countries have stayed about where they were in 1995.
