Talk:2007 United States federal budget

message: Shouldn't a distinction be made between what is labeled "War on Terror" spending and what is labeled Iraq-War spending? The $120 billion supplementary spending is currently labeled as going towards the "War on Terror," when it is my understanding that the vast majority of it is actually going towards the War in Iraq. It would be extremely POV (and factually incorrect) for Wikipedia to call the Iraq War the War on Terror. -Thucydides411 10:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: What was the figure on foreign aid?  Development aid says $17 billion, but it doesn't say which year that is for. -- Beland 00:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There probably is no single line item "foreign aid"; it's most probably scattered throughout in various programs with various nations & NGOs.  It's scattered among several departments, State, Defense, Treasury and other agencies.  "Foreign Aid" is really more of a journalistic, media, or candidate-on-the-stump attention getting phrase.

thread_title:  Accuracy? 

message: Where does this info come from? And according to http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy07/pdf/budget/defense.pdf, the U.S. government spends 50B on the War on Terrorism(WoT) 2007.
: -The link you provide shows clearly in the preceding sentence that the $50B excludes hundreds of billions of dollars spent on warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan that the DoD seems not to consider part of the "WoT".  Paulagrace (talk) 23:47, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

message: While I cannot comment on the accuracy of specific numbers in these sections, a quick look shows that the percentages attributed to each component is NOT accurate. For example in Total Receipts, Individual income tax is shown as $1.1 trillion (+12.1%) while Other is shown as $48.4 billion (+14.0%). I believe that $1.1 trillion should account for a larger percentage than $48.4 billion. Since I cannot confirm the accuracy of the numbers I won't change the percentages, but all of this needs to be updated/confirmed. Schatzw 22:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I added a pie chart of the FY07 budget to make it easier to understand the budget.  I think it is essential to have a graphic presentation of these numbers for comprehension.  The numbers for the pie chart were taken directly from the article.  The percentages were not used, just the dollars.  Please discuss before deleting the image.

replies: text: In the pie chart, the US Department for Veteran Affairs doesn't have a corresponding number, it's labeled 0.00. Managore (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
