I don't know about this particular chart, but I was told that other similar once including spending on Homeland Security as "social spending". Just goes to show you, how far some people go to try to present Bush in a bad light.
I bet the Dean campaign help them with the numbers.

Just goes to show you, how far some people go to try to present Bush in a bad light. I really asked what I thought was an easy question to the original poster. Does this chart include federal employee salaries?
If the chart simply reflected social program spending it would have been a quick no, but I got the history of social programs 101 lecture which makes me suspicious. That and the title - Human Resources which could be just about anything including salaries, benefits, etc...
Honestly, the light of critical review can be very illuminating...
