In 1960, with no U.S. involvement in a hot war, the percentage of GDP spent on defense was 9.3. This year, with wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and anti-terrorist military activities around the world, we're spending a miserly 3.5 percent.

Yet the entire federal budget keeps taking up a higher percentage of the GDP. One has to wonder where all that extra money is going.

The rest of the money in the US budget is going to places like Arafat's Swiss bank accounts.
