You are asking questions about things that are not paid for out of the same budgets.\n\nThe United States federal goverments first, and basically only job when this country was created was defense.  \n\nUntil recent times - Defense was the largest percentage of the total federal budget by far.\n\nAs time has gone on other things have been added to it. Including what takes up the majority of the Federal Budget these days.  These things that have been added are "required spending" budget items.  These are things that no matter what - they have to be paid.  This includes Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, interest, payroll, and other such expenses that deal with the day to day operation of the Federal government.\n\nDefense comes out of what is called discretionary spending.  As would anything the Feds spend on Education.\n\nTo answer your question directly - defense is about 20 percent, and Medicare/Medicaid (health) combined are going to also be about 20 percent.  Education is going to come out of the rest of the discretionary budget - not sure what it is off the top of my head - but its a very small percentage.\n\nSource 2 below has the info from the above paragraph - source 1 is the page that pdf came from, which has alot of other charts and graphs put out the US House of Representatives.\n\nSource 3 covers some historical data on the Defense spending.\n\nDefense is only paid for by the Feds.\n\nEducation on the other hand is going to be paid for by each state.  So to answer that question - you would have to look at each state.  There is many other Health Care programs that are paid for at the state level also - again - not something that can be answered here - way to many different things.\n\nBasically - the Feds pay for Social Security, Defense, Medicare, Medicaid, and things that cross states borders like Interstates.  They also spend large chunks of change on things like Disaster Relief.  \n\nStates pay for Education.\n\n.. and for the most part - employers pay for Health Care in this country.

When you ask the question 'Guns or Butter' I say guns. This is because the government spends more money on weapons then it does on anything else. With the money we spent bombing Iraq we could have funded a great many schools and fed 4,000 starving children.

Most of you seem to miss the point China has a standing army of 2.4 million the USA is 1.7 with reserves and everything.  We spend about 450 billion on Defense a year they spend 70 billion.  China doesnt have access to top technology due to a EU and USA arms embargo they put on them in 1981 when they killed chinese student protestors.  THey buy all their weapons from Russia which are 2nd rate.  Make no mistake about it though they are becoming more and more a threat economicly as their economy is growing fast and as they moderenize their army.  AS of now we are stronger but a full out war with China would hurt us abit.  Remember EU countries have cut Defense spending i think Britian is the largest army aroun 500k troops.  SO we would not get alot of help from them

In conventional warfare, India is superior to Pakistan just by sheer number, here is a list from Jane's defense weekly a 2005 update:\n\nIndian Army statistics: Active Troops 1,400,000, Reserve Troops 900,000, Territorial Army 200,000, Main Battle Tanks 5600, Artillery 3800, Support Aircraft 9 squadrons of helicopters, Surface-to-air missiles 1900.\n\nPakistan Army statistics: Active Troops 800,000, Reserve Troops 200,000, Territorial Army 150,000, Main Battle Tanks 2900, Artillery 1700, Support Aircraft 11 squadrons of helicopters, Surface-to-air missiles 700.\n\nBut you can be rest assured that a war between India and pak will not remain conventional for long. Probably China will take their side and Russia will take India's side, USA will remain neutral and sell arms to both...\n\nIn a worst situation, God forbid, if nuclear weapons comes into play, and probably Pakistan makes a first strike,(India will never strike first) it will annihilate about 70% of west India, with India's counterattack wiping off about 90% of Pakistan, because India has 4.5 megaton NW's while Pakistan has 2.3 megaton.\n\nLets just hope nothing as above happens, conventional war or proxy war restricted to the borders are a far better option. Moreover, neither country can afford either a full fledged war, the Pakistani economy will crash in less than 7 days on a full fledged war, while India will go bankrupt in 30 days time.

What do you man on liberalisation?  I'm not sure how politics ties in to India's aviation sector.  You talking about militarily, or commercially?

The US spends about 9.3 billion in foreign aid each year.  \n\nIn comparison, the US spends 255 billion on medicaid alone, another 535 billion on social security.  \n\nSo the amount we spend on foreign poor (and not all that 9.3 billion is even meant for the poor) is less than 1.1%, and that's not counting billions more on welfare programs, earned income tax credits, grants, ect.  The actual number is probably half a percent or less.\n\nSo I have to say your question is based on improper assumtions.  If the US stopped all foreign aid tommorrow it wouldn't make much differance to the average poor american, except that it might make the world an even more dangerous place for us.
