According to a new report by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (brought to my attention by Steven Aftergood), spending on US nuclear weapons infrastructure and related programs surpassed $52 billion in 2008. "That's a floor, not a ceiling," said study co-author Stephen Schwartz, who noted that the figure does not include costs associated with classified nuclear weapons or intelligence-related programs.

That figure is about the same as China's entire military expenditures and more than Russia's entire military budget.

When can we get rid of the Banksters and MIC Thugs that have taken over our Republic?
