'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Text Fwd: Missile Offense Funding Grows in Congress

Missile Offense Funding Grows in Congress


On May 12, the House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee voted to increase "missile defense" spending. The subcommittee, which is in charge of oversight for missile defense programs, added $361.6 million to the FY 2011 missile defense budget. This additional funding, combined with President Obama's budget request of $9.9 billion, would bring total spending on missile defense for 2011 to $10.3 billion. Below is a list of the programs that will receive additional funding:

- Airborne Laser: $50 million
- PAC-3: $133.6 million
- AN/TPY-2: $65 million
- Aegis SM-3s: $50 million
- U.S. Israeli Program: $88 million

Further amendments increasing missile offense funding are likely when the full Armed Services Committee meets for markup of the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act on May 19.

This funding comes as social progress in the U.S. is being defunded by the Democrats who run the government.
