I didn't think bribing third world countries was the American way. Maybe things have changed. BTW, you must be blind. Look at the cumulative table again. I am leaving aside Defense or Homeland Security, although I am certain most of the spending goes to someone's pork. These days every local govt is trying to justify any federal aid on the grounds of homeland security. Anyways, education +39.8%, Commerce +84.5%, Energy +17.1%, HHS +27.5%, State and International Assistance +56.4%, White House Executive Office +25.5% (did they hire a new chef at the White House?), etc.

Thanks for selectively displaying and being hypocritical.

Money spent on others is not always a bribe. I spent money on my childs education. That's not a bribe.
