"Sick"

I agree with Andy Myers, who posted this graphic with that comment on his Facebook page yesterday. We have an economy about to collapse, a government that already taxes way too much, and our military spending is almost as large as everyone else put together. When we invest so much in our military, it is no wonder that we have "pro-war, any war" politicians, from globalissues.org.

Here's another sick statistic from the same source, same page. In constant 2008 dollars, world military expenditures have increased 60% since 1998, from $1 trillion to $1.6 trillion dollars.
