George Bush has just thrown down his 2008 budget proposal and he's actually going to decrease funding for education and health care. This from a guy who is squandering $10-billion in borrowed money each and every month on a war of whim in the Middle East while slashing taxes for the most well-off at home.
Incredible. Absolutely astonishing. Isn't anyone down there going to storm the Bastille?

You're right but, typically, in part. On a per capita basis, the US is 1st. Spending as a %of GDP it ranks 10th, behind Saudi Arabia, Norway, Malaysia, France & South Africa (top five). Most other countries also get a better return on their expenditures. I guess it must be the cost of supplying armed guards to US schools, eh?
