Bush 08 Budget Big on War, Small on Soldiers
If we look at the big ticket items (over $100 bil.) in the '08 Bush $2.915 Tril. budget, defense and police are being increased (Table A) while support of soldiers who do the fighting are being decreased (Table B). Maybe the cuts in education are based on the belief that soldiers don't need educating anymore than the rest of us.
A. BIG INCREASE ITEMS OVER $200 BIL 100-199 bIL

My apologies to readers. Errata: The X for defense in Table A should be under the Over $200 Bil column and the remaining X's for both tables should be under the $100-199 Bil column. Excel does not translate in our blog. T
