The 2011 military budget, by the way, is the largest in history, not just in actual dollars, but in inflation adjusted dollars, exceeding even the spending in World War II, when the nation was on an all-out military footing.
Hidden numbers are even worse. The US hides the CIA, NSA and other budgets, including some parts of the DOD budget.
The government also hides the size of the military budget by adding spending on Social Security, which is funded by separate taxation (FISA), into the total, to increase the denominator of the "general budget".Dave Lindorff

",,when Rahm Emmanuel summoned the administration’s oil response team to the strategy session in the Oval Office, he didn’t send an invitation to Lisa Jackson, the spunky head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Denver Water raising rates for 20th straight year
It looks like it's time for Cheesman Park to be added to the list of parks and places where the recycled sewer water and the horrible effluent from the Lowry Landfill Superfund Site are mixed for the delivery of 157 pollutants and 10 radionuclides to the lakes, lawns and fields of our Denver parks.

The South Platte River and Cherry Creek deteriorate rapidly as they meander through the Denver area, picking up arsenic, ammonia and fecal contaminants at levels exceeding health standards by up to 50 times, the latest state and city data show.

Cleanup fund for radioactive Shattuck Chemical site quadruples to $1 million

Unhealthy uranium concentrations also were detected in Ralston Creek, which eventually enters Denver Water's Ralston Reservoir. The reservoir supplies water to Denver and Arvada.
