Susan,


Am in China and my connection to Thomas.gov is not very reliable.  Might you do us the favor of doing the comparison?


Thanks.

You might want to check those percentages by looking up the appropriations bill(s) at www.Thomas.gov

Important to be clear about implications of cuts being proposed for the USA budget.  This attached cartoon speaks.  My sense is that caring Americans need to aggressively promote priorities that fit with our values.  

 

Recent materials from American Friends Service Committee point out that the American military is spending about $1.98 million "every single minute for war and so-called defense."  59% of the national budget goes for the Department of Defense, War, Veterans Affairs, and Nuclear Weapons programs.  The next largest categories are  6% for Health and Human Services and 6% for transportation. Then there's  4% for Education, 1% for the Environmental Protection Agency, among other categories.

This cartoon in the Mountain Views News, Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010, p. 12, says it all. 

 

Regards and best wishes, Ric Schwenk
