Ted, <Defense alone is gobbling up 16% of the budget and its going up.> A lot of things are going up: calcsea.org 23% Social Security (one of the worst examples of bureaucracy) 21% Health (another example of bureaucracy) 16% Defense (your pet peeve) 14% Income Security 10% Interest 4% Education and Training 3% Transportation 3% Veterans 6% All other So I'm sure you'll understand why I'm not enthusiastic about 44% of my taxes going toward two of the biggest examples of government bureaucracy and waste. In comparison, 16% going to defense is a bargain. <I guarantee you that will lead to his losing the next election.> Your record on predicting elections leaves much room for improvement. ;-) Tenchusatsu
