Scumbria, you make an error, I point it out and then you repeat it. I could understand if you disagree about it being an error but then you should at least challenge the statement that it was an error. Besides I used the link that you used to support your case as evidence of your error. Bush is increasing education spending by $4.6bil not by $1bil. That is also the figure for an increase in one year. Bush is not proposing that big of increase in missile defense spending in the first year. So Bush is increasing federal education spending more then he is increasing federal spending on missile defense. If that changes in the next budget you might have a point to make then but now you do not. And all of this ignores the fact that most education spending is on the state and local levels and that is increasing (as a dollar amount which is what you apparently want to argue about, if you care more about % we can go there too) more then the total increase of federal spending on education, missile defense, and all other military programs. If you think my brain is strained perhaps it is because I am looking at the actual facts of the budget and comparing the spending increases over the same time frame while you are distorting the figures by taking only one part of federal education spending increases and calling it the entire amount, then taking an estimate of the total cost for a missile defense system and comparing them to your all ready inaccurate figure for education spending increases.
