WTF? You are extremely recklessly wrong and should be ashamed of it... We actually spend about 70 billion on education. If you look at this department of education's website, you can find a .pdf or excel sheet of the actual budget. It is here: http://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/history/index.html http://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/history/index.html If you look at the department of defense's website here: http://comptroller.defense.gov/budget.html http://comptroller.defense.gov/budget.html You will notice that its budget is around 700 billion. (Meaning we could multiply the DoE's budget by 10 and be about equal). That is just DoD, and does not include departments like homeland security or the FBI. I will probably get down-voted for this comment, but seriously, check your fucking sources, check their biases, and go to any primary sources available. Don't just click the first link out of Google machine. This is a clear failing of the education system, as you should have been taught this before exiting high school! Government expenditures are quite obviously freely available... There is no need to go to a '.com' website for them. If you actually see who is behind the site: 'http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/ http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/. The proprietor of your cited source (Christopher Chantrill), has a notable political bias. http://www.christopherchantrill.com/ http://www.christopherchantrill.com/ Going by your research ability, I'd say you aren't the best and aren't that bright.
