It'll buy Dubya and his posse a nice consultancy with the Saudis when he quits his current job. Just like it did for his dad and his cronies.

I want to know if my recent potato gun purchase made it onto the list or not.

Don't you know that complaining about military spending while we have a war going on is treason? Oooh boy, the knuckle draggers are coming for you.

You purchased your potato gun? I thought those were homebuilds. Oh, maybe I'm thinking of potato cannons.

And according to the BEA that would put the spending at 8.2 percent of our GDP.

Good thing we don't have to, you know, actually PAY for it.
