From Wikipedia, "Many countries in the Western world experience high economic growth (4 to 8% per year)."\n\nThere was also President Johnson's 'War On Poverty', which pushed massive amounts of federal funding down to the local level for health, education, and welfare.

I dont know. I really dont know. How would you find out? Government statistics? Not a good vote-getter! Even if you go back to previous governments , its still pretty hard to judge how scrupulous they were.They , of course , 'justify' the expense - 'defending freedom' , a 'cost-effective' health service,an aging population affecting pensions ( gosh , an aging population , that must have come as a surprise!). Bit of a rant here , but I feel that you understand!

Are you referring to the Federal Budget? A combination of all 50 states budgets? City Budgets? Household budgets?\n\nIf you are referring to the American Federal budget, President Bush submitted a 2.7 trillion (US dollar) proposal. I don't think Congress has acted on it at this time.

god knows what the heck they are doing. The government don't tell us how they are spending the money completely. Thats how corrupt the government is keeping secrets of the so hard earned money is being wasted to secret projects.

We spend less than one percent of the federal budget on foreign aid, one of the lowest percentages of any industrialized countries in the world.  Per person, Denmark spends more money.  \nAnd if you think our country is falling apart at the seams, you have never been to a poor country.  Even our poor are blessed compared to them.

I think for any programs we need to be careful.  We are only 1/10 the population of the US, and thus we only have 1/10 of the amount of money to spend.\n\nWe should look at how much we fund on a per capita basis not compare ourselves to other countries.

Health and Human Services (Which includes Urban Development, and Welfare) comes in at number one with a yearly projected budget of 650 Billion Dollars. Department of Defense is number two with a projected budget of around 515 Billion Dollars, and the Treasury Department is number 3 with a projected budget of 415 Billion Dollars (mostly due to the interest we pay on the national debt.)\n\nThe next largest after that is a huge drop with the Department of Agriculture with a projected budget of around 90 Billion.\n\n\nPlease Note that Social Security is not part of the Federal Budget general fund. It is a separate account and has its own source of income. As a comparison though, Social Security has an estimated budget of 500 Billion. \n\nFission

So far the American Government has spent $275 BILLION dollors on the War in Iraq!\n\nApproximately:\n28.5% of your Federal Taxes go to the military, that was in 2005. I can imagine now it's like 35%.\n\nBut, the American Army can kill the Chinese, if we let our Army rebuild, and give it some time. We can end them communists!

Don't know what government you're talking about.  Here in U.S., only local/state governments would contribute, definitely not Federal.\n\nAnswer to your question depends on the opportunity costs of the expenditure by government.  It might make sense for a government to invest in the Olympics if the associated infrastructure development will be useful for economic expansion following the events.

Defense spending is one of the top priorities of the Federal Government. Defense should not take a rest because of "peacetime". Our enemies will always continue to upgrade their abilities, whether there is a declared war or not. We cannot fall asleep at the switch.\n\nIf someone wants budget cuts, take it from art grants, charity handouts and other things that are not within the realm of what the Federal Government was set up to be.

spending is equal or less then income
