Thanks for being the only one to notice my post.

Here's how to fathom it. There are about 300 million Americans and our country spends 1 trillion dollars a year on military expenses. That's about $3,333 for every man, woman, and child each year. If we assume 2 income earners per household and 2 kids or non-taxpayers per household, that means every single person paying taxes is paying about $7,000 per year for our offense industry.

That's the $7,000 pound gorilla in everyone's living room that noone will discuss, certainly not the bipartisan congress or the media which benefits greatly from our wars.
