TEACHSOC: Where OUr TAx Dollars Go

[Tina Deshotels]

I saw “The Poverty Trap” on CNN this past weekend where Bill Clinton quoted some statistics on where I tax dollars go (If I remember right it was 30% of the budget went to the military and .1% to international aid).  He also said that if we increased federal aid to .7 percent of the budget we could end world poverty.  Does anyone know where I could verify this information?  Or more generally, where I can get stats what percentage of the budget goes to military (and other expenditures?).  Thanks for any information!!  Tina   Tina Deshotels, PhD Assistant Professor of Sociology Department of Sociology 326 Brewer Hall Jacksonville State University Jacksonville Alabama Office Phone:  256-782-5350 Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Teaching Sociology" group.
