Are you contending that total federal spending has kept pace with inflation? That actual federal spending has not increased in constant dollars?
Pardon me for saying so, but that's just silly.
There are lots of ways to evaluate constant dollars and evaluating the buying power of money. But I can think of no worse way that assuming, for reasons unbeknownst to man, that total federal spending has remained constant, and using that assumption to figure the value of a dollar in each year.
For some reason, you seem to be immune to understanding this point. That's OK. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
I stated that whatever the government spends, each agency gets a certain percentage of that spending. Since Defense spending, as a % of total spending has been shrinking since JFK, (broken only meaningfully by Ronald Reagan who increased it), that FACT can't be denied.
You also can't deny that social welfare spending has been soaring, taking a larger and larger % of total spending.
Has the United States become more of a social welfare nation since JFK or has the United States become more of a militaristic Defense spender since JFK? The answer is that the United States has become more socialistic through welfare spending since JFK since the % of total spending on welfare has soared and the % spent on Defense has shrunk.
These are facts and that can't be disputed.
Note: George Bush has increased the % spent on Defense also, like Reagan, but unlike Reagan who spent the $ on procurement, design and development of new weapon systems, much of the increase in George Bush's spending on Defense has gone to the war in the Middle East and has gone to bribe money to Pakistan and other nations that does NOT increase the military capability and force projection capability of our nation. In fact, major weapon systems are being reduced or eliminated and bases are being closed, even though "raw dollars" spent on Defense are increasing.
These also are facts that can't be denied.
