Illustration of How Gov't Spends Your Money (Pic)

If you look at the Air Force Officer pay bubble, thats actually enlisted in there blues, not officers.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
Indeed. Even though the pic is small you can see the sleaves...looks like 2 stripers.

 
Only 1.228 Billion on healthy communities and ecosystems, 2.7 on clean and safe water, and only .282B on safe and drug free schools. Yet space exploration gets 17B.

Looks to me like we could shave a tiny bit of military spending and spend a bit more keeping our people healthy and better educated, but what do I know? I mean, how much does a missle cost? We train our soldiers by actually blowing up Hummers, tanks and such. Isn't it enough to know you hit it? You couldnt use dummy missles for target practice? Not only would you save the cost of a missle, which is probably enough to feed a family of 4 for a year, but you'd get to hit the Hummer more than once, too.

Don't show me this sh*t. I go off on tangents easily. LOL

It's not the job of the government to feed families. It is a job of the government to provide for the common defense.

 
I never said that it was the job of the government, just using that as a cost comparison that people could relate to.

Is it not the job of the government to make sure our water is safe, and our kids in public schooling get a good education?

Stick up for military spending all you like. I know firsthand one soldier who bought a big screen tv for his house and billed it off as "training equipment". If one does it, I'd place a large wager that there are billions of dollars misspent from the military budget, while we drink piss with a ton of chemicals poured in it.
