I have no clue but I know it has to be extremely high when we consider that America alone is spending billions on this war alone.
by Corrupt on Tue Jul 17, 07 8:50am [+]

Even scarier Corrupt, is the fact that spending on the Iraq war is NOT part of the Pentagon's annual budget. That is why the President needs to get funding approval from the Congress. So add the Iraq spending on top of the annual budget of the $548.4 Billion. It seems criminal when so many people go hungry.

Close. Too close.

Fuck a duck. That’s a lot of money.
Jesus, you Americans must have to fork out a shit load of money in taxes just on defence. You better hope your country is secretly being attacked by aliens or something. Otherwise you are literally throwing your money down the drain.
by winston on Tue Jul 17, 07 10:22am [+]

I was actually shocked at what percentage of tax dollars goes to the Military. According to the Atlantic Review, only 3.7 percent of every American tax dollar goes toward our national defense and it accounts for about 4.5% of the total GDP.

Still though, it is staggering and if all countries just cut spending, there is so much that we could do with that money besides spending it on the war machine.
