将五角大楼、伊拉克及阿富汗战争、国土安全部、核武计划和国务院的军事协助项目的预算加在一起，美国今年将在安全方面花费约8000亿美元，而用于经济发展的预算却只有200亿美元。
Adding up the budgets of the Pentagon, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the Department of Homeland Security, nuclear weapons programs, and the State Department’s military assistance operations, the US will spend around $800 billion this year on security, compared with less than $20 billion for economic development.
