And you probably already know that albeit is one word. Another way of looking looking at the percentage is 1.7 cents out of a $3600 credit card bill, or $23.04 out of a salary of $50,000.

But I hope this means that you were ridiculing John McCain last year when he basically made 'pork barrel spending' the #1 hot button issue of his campaign late in the fall; said pork constitutes an equally puny part of the federal budget. Don't forget that once we withdraw from Iraq, there's billions of dollars a year we won't be spending, too - whether you like the war in Iraq or not, you can't deny that not fighting it anymore would be good from a budget perspective. So, you can belittle it all you want, but within a year, Obama will slice more out of the budget than 12 years of Bushes.
