Total Military and National Security Spending in the 2009 Federal Budget

I love the fact that we spend close to $600 billion a year on defense. For $300 billion a year, we'd be "buying" more defense than the European Union and Russia combined. The $300 billion difference could almost balance our budget and thus reduce our outstanding trade deficit. If we didn't want to balance our books, we could boost our competitive edge with the world by abolishing our corporate income tax and capital gains tax. Either way, our economy would boom and create millions of jobs.

Indeed. I even had to close the task where one could choose Pazifism as an option, which reduced the "defence" budget extremly. Those states became too fast too rich
