FY 2007 (that's fiscal year 2007 to you non corporate types)

For anyone who hasn't had a chance to review W's proposed budget plan for next year, I'll give the highlights. First, a mere 439 billion on "defense". That doesn't include the war in Iraq (which just as a reminder I was relying on one of my readers to tell me who we are fighting in Iraq because I can't figure it out so if anyone knows, please chime in). I guess that is included in the budget for offense. Not really, it is covered by separate legislation.

Where will all these billions come from you ask. Health care of course. Although I'm not sure exactly how that will work because I think the gubment spends so little on health care related issues that if they cut it all entirely it still wouldn't be enough for the the "defense" budget. Of course they had to grab a little from education, but really it is better for young people to be less educated because the fewer opportunities they have the more likely they are to join the mili-tree.

W also wants to give some money to science. But won't that cause the creation of even more animal human hybrids? Well no it won't, for two reasons. One, there are no animal human hybrids, W just said that because he is a complete and total buffoon, and two, W gave the money to be spent on research related to the fields of physical science (physics, chemistry) rather than biomedical (human animal hybrids).
