according to AFSC, 60% of the Federal Budget here in the US goes into Military & Military related expenditures. Only 6% into Education, 2% into Justice, 1.5% into NASA. We spend, from what I recall, 10X more than the next highest spending nation on "defense". What if we pared that back to only 3X more? Freeing up 40% of the federal budget could go a long ways towards repairing our infrastructure, improving the quality of education, building peace-supporting equipment like water infrastructure for the horn of Africa, high-speed rail, revamping a huge number of homes and offices to high efficiency standards, and building the green economy, plus put money back into the hands of average citizens to bolster the economy.

And yet the "Super-committee" can't agree on how to save 3 trillion. Seems rather obvious to me!

just study and prepare exceptionally well, get a good night's rest, and do your best worry-free. Aim to top the best you've done before, forget about trying to compete with others, that's a distraction from the goal of being your best.
