You are correct that I did not mean to include debt servicing. I am only talking the wad of cash they blow on (voluntarily) submarines et al.

But yes I did include debt servicing by accident when I went to a second source for the later forecasts. oops. Program Spending is forecast at $156 Billion for 05/06.

Following at 3.5% increase, I am still missing $25 Billion.

Our numbers seem to be the same until we get to the growth. So explain to me how I get from $104B in 97 to $156B in 06 if I follow the rate of inflation.
