Cost of Defense Less Than Alcohol Costs
At a Texas A&M banquet, Under Secretary Edward C. Aldridge Jr. contrasted defense and leisure spending. He said Americans spend annually on toys and sports more than the Air Force budget for strategic forces, with $9 billion on coin operated games last year and the Air Force spending less than half that on new airplanes this year. He noted social program outlays exceed defense spending by a wide margin.
