Good Morning.
It's been a very long time since we examined our military spending habits here at AAV.
So we'll dive right in, and we find this morning's Cost of War passing through:
$ 820, 272, 546, 000 .00
There's a new statistic out there, and it's broken down to about $117,035.00 per hour for these things.
But that's not all - Mr. Trump is planning on cutting wasteful spending for NPR and the NEA, as well as cuts to food stamps, welfare, and other such things. You'd think that these are a significant portion of the US budget, but this chart shows otherwise.
We all know these things, but it's back in sharper focus this morning because of the following story.
I suppose it's a good thing, as this next chart shows how far behind the rest of the world the United States has fallen, regarding military spending.
But hey, that's what good totalitarian states do. Look how well that worked out for the Soviet Union.

We all know these things, but it's back in sharper focus this morning because of the following story.
US President Donald Trump is seeking to boost defence spending by 10% in his proposed budget plan for 2018.
The blueprint will increase defence spending by $54bn (£43bn) but seeks to recoup that sum through deep cuts elsewhere, including to foreign aid.
Mr Trump's plan leaves large welfare programmes untouched, despite Republican calls for reform.
The president has consulted government agencies about his plans and will present his budget to Congress in May.
Between now and then, he needs to identify where the agencies can make savings and work out what he does with tax reform.
Republican John McCain said the $603bn defence budget - which was outlined by White House officials - would be insufficient.
Speaking at the White House during a meeting with state governors on Monday morning, Mr Trump said: "We're going to do more with less and make the government lean and accountable."
The president, who vowed to increase military spending and preserve welfare programmes during his campaign, said the budget will focus on "military, safety, economic development".
"It will include an historic increase in defence spending to rebuild the depleted military of the United States of America at a time we most need it," he said.
I suppose it's a good thing, as this next chart shows how far behind the rest of the world the United States has fallen, regarding military spending.
But hey, that's what good totalitarian states do. Look how well that worked out for the Soviet Union.

Trump adviser links Dems to Jewish center bomb threats
"It's not yet clear who the #JCC offenders are. Don't forget @TheDemocrats effort to incite violence at Trump rallies," he tweeted while linking to an article from right-leaning Breitbart News about a Project Veritas investigation of "trained provocateurs" at Republican events.

OMFG. Really. really.
Asked about the recent wave of anti-Semitic attacks and threats across the nation, President Trump on Tuesday told a group of state attorneys general that "sometimes it's the reverse," Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said of Trump’s comments in his and other officials' meeting with the president.
"He just said, 'Sometimes it's the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,' and he used the word 'reverse' I would say two to three times in his comments," Shapiro said. "He did correctly say at the top that it was reprehensible."
Asked for further information about the purpose of the president's comments, Shapiro only said, "I really don't know what he means, or why he said that,†adding that Trump said he would be speaking about the issue in his remarks on Tuesday night.
Saying that he hoped to see clarification from the president in those remarks, Shapiro added, "It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.â€
White House spokespeople did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

I'm with Bob on this one.
My lights are on, and there is food on my table. It makes me happy to drive.
Tell me, do you buy Shell, Exxon, or BP gasoline?
Stopped going to Publix?
Support or deny any of these things?
You know I've written volumes on "All Politics is Local". Work on something that matters, something you can affect.
Uber, or any corporate entity, doesn't give a rat's ass about your position. I signed up for Uber literally the day before all the latest stories broke. I am always busy. If there is a boycott, it hasn't made a difference to me here.
