Political Factoid
Military spending now accounts for
more than 20% of the entire federal budget.
- The annual defense spending has
just about doubled since 2001,
rising to almost $700 billion in 2010.
- More than $1 trillion additional,
in direct costs alone, have been spent
on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The war hawks smile all the way to the bank.
