What's going on here?
Why are we breaking the bank on building up our own WMDs when our budget is being thrashed by the wars supposedly intended to eliminate other nations WMD programs?
Our Hidden WMD Program - Why Bush is spending so much on nuclear weapons. By Fred Kaplan: "Measured in 'real dollars' (that is, adjusting for inflation), this year's spending on nuclear activities is equal to what Ronald Reagan spent at the height of the U.S.-Soviet standoff. It exceeds by over 50 percent the average annual sum ($4.2 billion) that the United States spent - again, in real dollars - throughout the four and a half decades of the Cold War."
