Bah. Your numbers are wacked. Defense spending is 20% of the federal budget. Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security take up over 40% of the budget.

How much did 9/11 cost this country? Hundreds of billions. Bush prevented another attack during his Administration against all odds. Biden predicted there will be another attack if Barry would get elected to President. How much do you think that will cost us?
War costs will continue since Barry will be moving troops from Iraq to Afghanistan/Pakistan.
Your Democratic Congress has approved bailouts since coming into power that have eclipsed the war costs.
So, how's that Democratic Congress for the last 2 years been working out for you?
And, maybe you can explain why the most liberal states (which have no war costs) are having the most trouble with their budgets?
