Should U.S. bolster its defense budget?

3. That pie chart is shameful. And, if seen by EVERYONE, might be horrifically illuminating.

Should be broadcasted in Times Square, on TV, on the cover of every magazine, used as campaign material. Oh, wait, most of our government thinks this is a quite swell way to spend our money, isn't it. They look for ways to steal from all the tiny slices in order to feed the gigantic greedy one - trying to figure out which cuts will result in more or less votes.

And that's ALL this comes down to - votes and lining pockets. Looks to me like, once elected, what those sad little slices actually mean in terms of real people is completely lost, to most politicians.
