"President George W Bush has proposed a $2,770bn (£1,600bn) annual budget, with more money to fight terrorism, but less for many social areas."
Nearly 7% for 'defense':
"Mr Bush is seeking a 6.9% hike in US military spending to $439.3bn, and a 3.3% rise in homeland security funds."
In my opinion 7% is quite a hike. Shouldn't the process of scaling down operations in Afganistan (late 2001, over four years ago) and Iraq (Spring 2003, three years ago) have started?
Thats 439,300,000,000/250,000,000 = $1757 pa for every American (even the kids and infirm)!! + neglects the figure for 'homeland security'
Obviously they can't afford it - hence the debt.
