In the entire post this is the only thing that really got my attention. We spend more in 3 months for defense than we spend in two years for education. If people don't want to raise taxes to provide for things then perhaps we should, perish the thought, cut back on military spending to pay for things. If you don't want people to keep raising taxes to pay for programs then perhaps we should stop spending so much money dedicated to killing people and deal with more pressing issues.

The USA, responsible for about 80 per cent of the increase in 2005, is the principal determinant of the current world trend, and its military expenditure now accounts for almost half of the world total.
