There is alot of good numbers and graphs and what not here: http://www.fourthfreedom.org/Applica....php?page_id=5

Entitlement spending dwarfs those numbers though, and will undoubtedly bankrupt our nation.

So much more could be accomplished with far less money. There is so much money just outright wasted in this war it makes me sick. Have you seen "Iraq For Sale; The War Profiteers"? It points out some outrageous wastful spending, like $100k big rig gets a flat tire? Fuck it, pull it over and blow it up after all they are on no bid, cost plus contracts. So the more they spend the more they make.. Fucking bullshit.
