Or should I say a charismatic Ross Perot type of person that lays the budget out. My conservative friend was surprised to find out that we spend $3,800/adult for defense in this country (DOD, VA, Energy Nuclear Security, and Energy Nuclear Environmental). $7,600 is probably more than him and his wife pay in Federal taxes, and they are pretty well compensated as a family (probably in the top 15% of family earners).
