>>can we say downsize<< apparently not... and i heard a statistic (unfortunately i don't have the number off the top of my head) that on a percentage basis of GDP we are nowhere NEAR the level we were during WWII... that number is bound to go up as it must...if we are serious about fighting the war on terror... i suppose arguably if you lump "homeland security" into defense spending (which i think it should be) that percent goes much, much higher.
