Which revised politically correct history do you speak of I hate to think of what you may be indoctrinating your daughter with.

Did you happen to notice at the top of the chart where it says "Discretionary Spending" in big letters?

Good for you. We did the same.

What I cant understand is why Military/Defense spending is called "discretionary". By definintion money used after everything else is paid off?
No one really knows the exact amount, not even the DOD/Pentagon knows and there are some "black budgets" too.
Maddow is right though.

Heres a link to some similar graphs. They pretty much show the same thing.

When looking at the Bill of Rights, see how much it differs when compared to how it was actually written to what is in the text books.

Its directly against what is being said, your first graph shows all spending and only 30% of the total is only discretionary spending, so yes, 57% of discretionary spending is military, but NOT of the entire budget...which is what is trying to be portrayed here and is pure BS...

Thanks for proving tempest wrong!

You posted the chart. Fleet is just asking where you got it. Is the source so dubious that you are afraid to post it?
