Ted, Yes, and why is that? ......because the rest of the budget funding is required by law. Exactly. Up to 3/4 of the federal revenues are tied up in "mandatory" spending that include housing, welfare, agriculture, and other programs that eases the burden for the poor. Not 3/4.....roughly half. When you consider that there isn't much left for "discretionary" spending, your claim that we spend too much on defense falls flat. It's like the government taxing you 75%, and then claiming you're not generous enough with your take-home pay of 25%. Excuse me, when did over $500 billion per year is an example of my argument falling flat. That's nearly 20% of a 2 trillion dollar budget. Flat? I think its very busty personally! If you were so against Saddam being in power, why did you not opposed Reagan when he was sending and selling arms to Saddam in the 1980s? We had the Soviets to worry about. What does that have to do with Saddam? It was Iran we were trying to keep in check, not the Soviets. ted
