different operations or programs come from different budgets, depending on "who" is asking for the money, and for "what".
point is - the overall grand scheme big picture $ are far greater than that, you just don't hear about it. certain programs are not and will never be acounted for in that regard. so while what you say above makes common sense - it doesn't really work that way. another way of saying it was how much of the 200 bil was being spent prior to the war in iraq?
