Defense Spending Ballooned 81% Higher than 2001

We are now spending $1.6 trillion out of our $3.7 trillion congressional budget for 2012. So 43% of all of our taxes go to making bombs, bullets, and fuel to get our troops in harms way. Our money is spent so wisely
 its not like we have a $14 trillion deficit or anything bombing poor people that we no nothing about is more important and anything else

keep reaching coastie, $1.6tn is global defense spending, that's every nation in the world, that includes the budget we provide the UN (we're about half their budget) and the $700bn we spend on defense includes those roads in afghanistan
maybe it's time you actually go to the congressional budget office website and learn where your money is going instead of getting it from some blog and attributing it to the US defense budget

I recently was looking at a pie chart it was 41%. Us spends the most out of every nation on Military funding . Social programs are a measly 13, and other programs like research are about 5%. it is in fact that almost half our money goes to Military funding, and thats the numbers they're giving us.... Its probably a lot higher than that.
that was in 2008 but still numbers are relatively the same
-------------------- You, me, this point in existence is undeniably so unique, we take everything for granite ,life , comprehension, feelings, thought, so accustomed to understanding that we've lost the meaning of fully understanding who we are..... we are the extra terrestrial, we are the unknown, we are the mystical...

so is welfare spending, so is corporate welfare spending that you want to call research funding, so it all kinds of other spending on useless projects, I shouldnt be paying to support a bunch of people that want to lay about and get high all day nor should I be paying to support companies that makes billions each year
so, just how much should defense spending be in correlation to social spending
