This may be a bit more than we can handle, if I might employ a double entendre or two. With all that’s in the news about the U.S. financial situation and its affects across the globe, and our federal governments apparent inability to address the situation, I thought I’d provide you with some related data, the Budget of the United States Government. There’s a lot here, but I’ve thought it might be interesting to calculate how much the average middle class citizen pays for each of the items in the budget. Just how much could I keep in my pocket if we were to cut the Millennium Challenge Corporation program from International Affairs?
