From Robert Samuelson in the WaPo:
In 1954 defense accounted for 69.5 percent of federal spending and "human resources" (programs such as Social Security, Medicare, job training and food stamps) only 18.5 percent. In 2005 defense was 20 percent and human resources 64.2 percent.
I recently saw a very disturbed person on my favorite show NOW lamenting how the "military industrial complex" has taken over America. Well, apparently the old people and miscreants have taken over.
