I dunno how they were calculated, but the education vs. military spending numbers you quote are really out of whack. For education vs. military (dod + homeland security), I see the following from different sources: [1] reports 45.4 billion vs. 660.6 billion [2] reports ~100 billion vs. ~700 billion [3] reports 157 billion vs. 895 billion [4] reports 89.4 billion vs. 544.5 billion Your source is clearly an outlier.
