UPDATE 2-U.S. House approves $649 bln for defense in 2012
• http://www.reuters.com/A $649 billion defense spending bill for next year easily passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday after four days of debate in which war-weary lawmakers sought to curb President Barack Obama's combat operations in Afghanistan and Libya.
That's about $2100/person in the US. I think we could all get some really nice guns and ammo for that amount and defend ourselves pretty nicely.
