This graph, of per capita federal spending by the twenty-two states with
the twenty-five largest metro areas, is ranked ordered by military
spending first. Above the white line across the middle of the graph is
the state's military spending and below the white line is the state's
nonmilitary other federal spending. Notice how the military allocation
is very unequal while the nonmilitary allocation is fairly equal across
all the states. The black bars are the average military spending on top
and the average nonmilitary spending on the bottom.
This graph, from 1984 in the last decade of the Cold War, shows how 80%
of the inequality of federal spending to the states is due to the
military spending alone, even though military spending was only 25% of
the total. |
