[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1534720, member: 2189"] You also have to include some costs placed in the Dept. of State budget and Dept. of Energy among others as these monies pertain to military operations. Energy oversees a lot of the nuclear arms force for example. Commerce and Transportation also (Lockheed among others for example gets many bennies there). When added up, it will be even more than $2tril. Eisenhower was correct in warning about the Military Industrial Complex and the illusionists in Washington are masters at playing the shell game with taxpayer dollars. It should be added that in [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_tax_revenue_by_state#Fiscal_Year_2012'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]Fiscal Year 2012'[/B][/COLOR][/URL], the latest year we have full data, total gross tax collections by Internal Revenue for Year 2012' was just over $2.5 trillion so I think to argue that none of the monies spent in any capacity by the military was borrowed is a bit dishonest to say the least. The idea of small/limited gov't doesn't turn a blind eye from anyone when it comes to the chopping block. [/QUOTE]
