You know what's eating your money? Afghanistan & Iraq. AFAIK, the military budget for operations in the middle-east got ~90 billion dollars bonus. Half of that money goes to Pakistan to be used to fight the taliban/al-Qaida there and the rest goes to Afgh/Iraq. IIRC, Bush gave more and more money to the military ops in Afgh/Iraq regularely after 9/11. Has anything changed there? Nope.

I'm actually abit surprised I havent seen the military budget brought up before, it's eating unnecessary cash atm.
