mm, why aren't you speaking out against Defence spending? Isn't that the biggest unnecessary drain? Isn't that the main reason the Communists in Russia collapsed? Would you want to post the increase in Defence spending alongside the numbers you posted. I applaud you for posting the numbers. It is educational at least for me. But then after seeing them, I pondered about the 80/20 rule wherein you look at the biggest chunk in our spending and cut a percentage from that part of the pie and that will cause a dramatic shift in the figures.

By the way you have really sparked this thread with your posts and that is great. BUt also help me and probably others on this thread by making it "fair and balanced" but not the FOX News way.
