Seems like we're spending an inordinate amount on "Defense" and less on the "general Welfare", IMO...

It does not seem like we are. We are spending to much on defense but in the sense of monies handed over to the developers of weapons. The contracts that are offered up to companies to develop weapons is just astounding. They are getting to be really fat cats.
Currently, I believe the money Bush is asking for is to support what we have going on now, not in more development of new weapons.
