Hawk....that is a most interesting set of tables!!! Wonder how many people will even look at them? Also, isn't it true that the DOD is the *only* Department that includes all the retirees salaries and benefits in their numbers?

Wonder how the rest of the Departments would compare to these numbers? Especially if they had to include all the retirement salaries and benefits in the figures.....

Should also look at the Department of Energy Budget. Isn't DOE the euphemistic name for the Department of Nuclear Weapons?

>The total Federal budget as a percentage of GDP was 15% in 1950, whereas in 1996 it was 20.8%, with DOD being budgeted at 3.4% of GDP.

As a percentage of the total Federal budget, DOD expenditures have also hit a post WWII low, amounting to 27% of the total Federal budget in 1950, but only 16% in 1995.>
