We spent 2.6 trillion dollars on defense in 2005 Ted you are losing it. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you either mean that we are going to spend that much on defense in 2005 or that we spent that much in 2004. Even then your statement is still crazy. $2.6 trillion is more than the entire 2005 budget, and is more thant the whole world will spend on defense in 2005.

Ted, Re: We spent 2.6 trillion dollars on defense in 2005 The entire federal budget for FY 2005 was about $2.5 Trillion. I think you might want to review this data.
