Spending Priorities

[Aphos]

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy of Bush berating the Congress for spending too much?

Take a look at this graph comparing spending on alternative energy research vs. the Iraq war.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Just a little.

[Sibling Chatty]

Hypocrisy-Bush

Synonyms

Eliminate the war bills and there'd be enough money to fund healthcare AND alt-fuels. But then, the cronies wouldn't be getting richer.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Shame it doesn't show how much is *invested* in weapons R&D (like the missile defense system that doesn't work). There is money for the contractors, just don't ask for money for the veterans.

The deficit is so out of whack that the devaluation is causing inflation, but don't even dream to cut funding for *defense*, all social services must go first.

[Griffin NoName]

Hey,  cut defence there won't be anyone left to need social services. You all will be wiped out.
