摘要

Numbers may not lie, but they can easily be manipulated to support an argument. As lawmakers in Washington try to figure out how to rein in an unsustainably large federal budget deficit, the outlines of a guns-versus-butter debate are taking shape. Sorting through the clutter of that debate will not be easy. Let's start with critics of military spending, from whom we are going to hear more in the coming months. They argue that defense and security budgets already account for more than half of "discretionary" spending, the one-third of the federal budget that also includes funding for activities such as transportation, educa-? tion, energy, agriculture and federal law enforcement. U.S. defense ' spending has risen at a real annual rate of 5.8% since 1998, even adjusting for inflation that is at its highest dollar level since World War. II, according to the nonpartisan Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA). The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which tracks defense spending globally, says the U.S. budget exceeds the next nine nations combined.
