The military has the lion's share of the national budget? Where did you get your numbers? This link: http://www.warresisters.org/pages/piechart.htm ?

This sentence on that page made me laugh out loud: [We added $162 billion to the last item to supplement the Budget?s grossly underestimated $38 billion in ?allowances? to be spent in 2009 for the ?War on Terror,? which includes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan].

In other words, "The numbers didn't say what we wanted them to, so we changed them until they did." Their problem is obvious...as is yours.
