For Real
The defense budget proposed this week by the current administration for the fiscal year 2009 is 70% higher than 2001. The plan calls for Pentagon spending totaling $514 billion dollars. This does not include money budgeted for the on-going actions in Iraq and Afghanistan for which the budget requested a further $70 billion dollars. This $70 billion dollars is only expected to cover expenses through July 2008.
