garsk Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 President Bush has just sent a spending plan to the US congress for 2.77 trillion dollars. you can find the full story at yahoo.com, or any other US news website. comments anyone? also Canada only spends less the 20 billion on defence a year. also i should have bought stocks in defence compaines before 9/11
Cherry Poppin' Daddy Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) EDIT: the budget in total is $2.77 trillion. The defense part is $439.3 billion. 16% of entire budget for defense. 3.5% of America's GDP, which is about where it's been for 10 years. A hell of a lot lower than during the Cold War.

Moonlight_Graham Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Bush asked for something like 70 billion more for Iraq funding this year. That a lot of mouths it could feed.
Spritzup Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 It'd probably be cheaper if he just started nuking countries he didn't like.
garsk Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 yeah, sorry, i should have read the whole article first
