Perot Charts--Charting Government

Another link submitted by a concerned voter gives additional information for the Voter to focus on the real financial problems facing our country. Keep in mind financial problems in government aren't treated as financial, but political. Keep you eye on the real problem and not be deceived by the misleading Sound Bite.

I found the chart on The Composition of Federal Spending for 2007 interesting. It seems to show that the real Federal expense problem is not Defense, but the rest of Government.

What was the cost to our economy of 911? What cost would there be if we had another 911, or worse? What is the cost of loosing Iraq to Iran, or some other terrorist, or anti US group? How would that compare to the Defense Budget, or some percent of it? How much ethanol do we need to offset the oil loss in Iraq if we surrender? What would that do to our GDP and food prices? Not to mention our reputation and international standing? What would be the value of the $?

Since this chart also shows revenue, I'll try to provide a link to show who pays the revenue in another listing. Do the "wealthy" have enough? Is more Government your solution?
