Military -- What % of the Discretionary Budget

What percent is the Military of the discretionary budget of the U.S.? Discretionary means you take out all of the entitlement programs, social security, government retirement, and of course, the big one, national debt. I would guess, and since no one reads this blog I am the undisputed authority, let's say it is 50%.

Guess what, the war is extra. Kind of a bonus plan to poverty for this nation. It will mess up a trillion dollars before it is done.

So, lets imagine that we did not spend more money on the military than all other nations combined. I know, its a silly thought. And, let's imagine that we didn't waste a million killing people in the middle east via our righteous war. Say we could muffle Jehovah Bush for a moment and all those that support the "killing fields." A trillion dollars, 10^12 dollars. That's enough to educate 300 million students for a year. We don't even have that many students. We would have to educate all the Mexican and Canadian children, too. I need a number for our annual military budget so I can estimate how many of the Mexicans we will have to send home after the first year.

My point is simple, until we drop our military spending down to just the total of what all the other nations spend in the world combined, we have no chance of doing much here at home in any other area. Of course, there is no option to drop our spending down to what China or Russia together spend. Who knows what evil they have planned. Paranoia. Actually, they are smarter than us since they realize that each of us, plus a few other countries, already have the power to destroy the world -- so what else can a few trillion get you. We call it the point of diminishing returns in economics. Of course, Jehovah Bush can't be expected to grasp such concepts, not to mention our Congress.

Jehovah Bush when he retires, I hear, is going to help Al Gore explain Global Warming in 2010. By the way, I hear the ocean level has been rising for 18,000 years ... about 30 cm per year. But, that is another subject for another day.
