Guess who spends the most money on the military? Strange how easy it is to pay for killing and destroying. Mush more difficult to find money to cure cancer.
....................................
World military spending in 2005 reached $1.12 trillion with the U.S. accounting for almost half. NATO allies make up another 23% of spending, while Japan, S. Korea and Australia make up another 7% (included in the rest of the world slice). While accurate data for 2005 is not available for some of the countries labeled as the 'axis of evil' by the administration, it is likely that these countries - Cuba, Iran, Libya, N. Korea, Sudan and Syria make up only around 1% of world military spending.

Canada isn't spending trillions on their military. I guess they'll be finding cures for cancer any day now.

SS, our new government just spent a bundle on the military. Soon they will start cutting social programs.
