The US taxpayer subsidizes the arms industry

And "We're # 1!" applies to gun sales:

* The U.S. is the largest maker, buyer and seller of guns in the world
* The shootings at Virginia Tech reflect a "global epidemic" of gun-related violence
* Guns are responsible for 300,000 deaths worldwide every year


But not necessarily the health coverage of our citizens:

The World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems.



Oh, and by the way, a hundred and sixty people died today in an unnecessary war that some people are making an obscene amount of money on .

Update: That's 233 so far this week Iraq.
