This chart represents the 2007-2008 U.S. discretionary budget, the portion of the budget that the President and Congress create each year. It does not include Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and interest on the national debt which are not discretionary spending.
It's funny how little of our discretionary budget pie goes to life, and how much of it goes to death.
All of the money comes from "We the People," but most of the discretionary dollars don't.
Take out Iraq -- a pointless war built on lies that is leaving us impoverished -- and the equation changes quite a lot.
I'm just saying.
Before Iraq, gasoline was $2 a gallon cheaper.
