Adding to
the quilt is easy as pie:

As new government entities and acts are created
to better protect American citizens from the ravages of a terrorist world,
we can all rest snugly and smugly. Eternal vigilance is truly the price
of peace, and federal spending has us collectively covered. While most
of us feel proud to have our money fund schools, infrastructure, care
and protection of the environment, and benefits to veterans, the amounts
allocated today to military defense are unprecedented. More than 47% of
all taxes will be allocated for military matters. This percentage does
not include any part of the $87
billion for the Iraqi reconstruction plan President Bush announced
in early September, nor does it include any of the funds for the war in
Iraq. Show the real cost of our security blanket. Help construct a
virtual quilt depicting how
US tax dollars are spent.
