You can't say a percentage of your income tax goes to social security - that's a different tax. Medicare - same thing. Different tax.

And you might want to talk to Bush about the pie being "only so big." Guess that's why the debt keeps rising.
How does the federal government spend 40% on the military?

The federal budget is now over $2.9 trillion.

40% of that IS NOT going to the military.
