Record $622 Billion Budget Requested for the Pentagon

So, evolution and education still get cooked in the squat.

The reason is that the United States has fallen down a very deep well, and it’s hard to get out. Last year, the United States imported 60 percent of the oil it consumed. If, as Mr. Bush proposes, we cut gasoline consumption 20 percent by 2017 — about 2.1 million barrels a day — then the share of oil imported will fall only by 4 or 5 percentage points.
In fact, the government expects the share of imported oil to fall anyway, to less than 56 percent, because of a rise in domestic production, ...full text
