I think it's our long-term goal to make defense spending more than 80% of GDP so that it completely crowds out spending and taxes for any other purpose.

I know I will feel much safer when we have no functioning government, but we do have a military with a man, a missile, a bomber, and a tank on very street corner.

"That's less than he spent on his victory splurge for his friends, AKA the Stimulus Bill."

Is the stimulus bill an annual, year-in year-out appropriation?
