Ths is completely unsupportable.
Not really, the economy has collapsed while the total military and security spending of the US government is well above 850 billion dollars each year. (compared to far less before, something like a total of 400-500 billion)..
$481.4 billion (+12.1%) - Department of Defense
$145.2 billion (+45.8%) - Global War on Terror
$39.4 billion (+18.7%) - Department of Veterans Affairs
$34.3 billion (+7.2%) - Department of Homeland Security
Plus Iraq and Afghanistan which amounted to something like 180 billion in 2008(budget).
