Spy Agencies Spent $47.5B in Fiscal Year 2008

In this article it talks about how the intelligence spending budget should be and has to be made public. There has been multimillon dollars spent on special programs like the CIA and the FBI also the budget released the last decade included increased military spending and releasing publicly the information of intelligence spending has been made law to be in the publics knowledge.
I think that it is a good thing that our intelligence spending budget is being released into public knowledge. We have the right to know why we are indebted to so many other countries billions of dollars. its nice to know that we are spending more on military aid because it will help us decide if staying in Iraq is worth it because of how much money that we are endebted to other countries because of this war. i think that showing that we put so much money into aiding other countries but we still have starving, dieing ill people in our country hurts to see. the people deserve to know how our money as a country is being spent.
