National Budget Proposal

I usually avoid discussing politics. Not because I don't like to think about them, but because political conversations usually end up with people getting angry and never reaching any sort of enlightenment.

But today is different.

Yesterday President Bush gave Congress his budget proposal for the next couple years; it included a military budget of $624.6 billion.

$141.7 billion of the total is allocated for fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is North St. Louis.

This is New Oleans

This is Detroit

Just something to think about...
