I won't be happy until our military spending is reduced to pre-WWII levels (inflation-adjusted, of course).
I'll give you a couple hints:
1. Population growth
2. Advances in military technology = war is more expensiveIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Here? My parish church is more than half minority. Everybody pretty much gets along. I enjoy it tremendously.

That's because it includes property crimes.
The FBI's new crime data may suggest the nation is getting safer, but these metro areas still struggle with high rates of murder, rape, and assault
1. Flint, Michigan
2. Detroit, Michigan
3. St. Louis, Missouri
4. New Haven, Connecticut
5. Memphis, Tennessee
6. Oakland, California
7. Little Rock, Arkansas
8. Baltimore, Maryland
9. Chicago, Illinois
10. Stockton, California.
10 cities, only 2 in the south. 0 in Texas.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
