The United States is far and away the global leader in defense spending. In 2007, the most recent year for which complete data is available, the United States approved $660 billion in defense budget authority (FY09 dollars). This figure includes funding for DOD's base budget, DOE-administered nuclear weapons activities, and supplemental appropriations for Iraq and Afghanistan. http://www.armscontrolcenter.org/policy/securityspending/articles/022609_fy10_topline_global_defense_spending/
About Me
- James McGinley
- No fan am I of the man Jesus, no Christian am i. A disciple of Jesus I am, an ardent greedy student, because I want the supremely joyful life that he had and told me I could have, taught me how to have, and have now attained. And infinitely more than for me, I want that joyful life for everyone, most of all, for the least of these my family of humanity. And because the dozens and dozens of great souls throughout history, what they learned and embodied, all points me to his teachings and example. For the collective joyful life of it. Jesus' disciple, James Ps. Of one thing I am certain, that the only thing I can be certain of is that I know nothing to be true with absolute certainty. To do other than that would be to place myself in the position of allah, yahweh, God, the all-knowing, absolute truth... like the Christians do. And in that and every other way, I am not a christian.
