Your Tax Dollars At Work

From the Wall Street Journal-

Monthly expenditures are running at $5.9 billion; the U.S. commitment in Afghanistan adds roughly another $1 billion. Taken together, annual spending for the two wars will reach $117.6 billion for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 -- 18% above funding for the prior 12 months.

Let's recap...

Money for endless war? Check. Money for New Orleans? NO! Continuing to give tax cuts to America's wealthiest citizens in times of fiscal concern? Check. Paying off ever-growing national deficit? NO!

Always good to recap. And now back to your regulary scheduled program.
