                                       The U.S. military budget increased by 104%
                                       over 11 consecutive years. Expenditure of
                                       $354 billion in 2001 rose to $721 billion by
                                       2011.

                                       The money spent on the military could be
                                       invested in health and education instead,
                                       and employment opportunities could be

                                       employed for thousands of people.

                                       These two pages show some examples of
                                       how military spending could have been
                                       employed in other fields.
