Priorities in the form of Money [posted by Troy]
According to a Univ. of Maryland Study the following is true:A representative sample of U.S. citizens polled thought that our country should spend $1 on foreign aid for every $3 spent on defense. The reality is that we spend $1 on foreign aid for every $19 we spend on defense (pre-Iraq war numbers). When asked if the US spends too much on foreign aid, responders said "yes." When asked how much we spend, the average response was that we spend 24% of the budget on foreign aid. The reality is that we spend less than 1% on foreign aid (one of the lowest in developed world). Every management class that you take teaches you that the organizational budget is the true representation for organizational priorities. A group can pretend to stand for anything, but budgets represent real action.
