Better than two-fifths is spent on Defense, but because the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are funded as supplemental spending, their totals ARE NEVER added into official congressional Defense spending totals (though spending on them equals/exceeds the amount spent on social programs). This means—though we have known for 5 years that we will need the appropriations—Congress has never actually budgeted for either war, so spending for both automatically goes on the credit card (it gets charged to the Chinese). What the—?
