Are you sure? Maybe the amount is enough, it's just not being used efficiently. Given the fact that the monies are being handled by the government, I find that quite easy to believe.
IN MY OPINION!!!!!!!!!.......we cannot spend enough on the military. They protect this country. They deserve to be as safe as possible. WE deserve to be as safe as possible.
I'd love to see a whole lotta stupid pork spending STOPPED and transferred to the military.
Military expenditures as a percentage of GDP are almost at a post-WWII low. 3.9% I think vs. 15 % during the war. (They were slightly lower during the clinton mal-adminstration.)
Just off the top of my head I remember a Clinton budget that took (20 million?) a large sum of money in the defense budget and dedicated it to breast cancer research.
Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with breasts, but they left the money in the defense budget so it didn't look like a defense cut. That's what they call a stealth cut.
