wtf:
House OKs Record $460 Billion Pentagon Budget
On Capitol Hill, the House has approved a record four hundred and sixty billion dollar budget for the Pentagon. The massive military budget represents a nearly $40 billion increase over current levels. The measure does not include President Bush's 2008 funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush is expected to soon ask Congress to approve an additional one hundred and forty seven billion dollars for the Iraq war.
HOLY SHIT that is a lot of money.
I really have to no way to conceive of the amount of money that the government and large corporations spend. All I can think is, imagine all the good that could be done with that.
That's so pitiful and naive, but true.
