Petrol Usage by Urban Density. Houston, we have a problem

coderman: i'd like to see this further revised according to net urban density.
seti: that would essentially compare square meters per square meter across various urban areas. spoiler: pretty strong correlation
coderman: what would the comparison look like if all the gas guzzlers where gone? i'm sure americans drive more than other nations, but i'm not sure it's as much more as these graphs indicate (even accounting for urban sprawl in houston and phoenix, etc)

"The interest on the debt--the debt that Ronald Reagan promised, if he was elected, he would end--is so great now that it equals all of the money that will be withheld from your paycheck in January, February, March, April and part of May. All of the rest of the income taxes you will pay for the year go to war. They go to the Pentagon budget."

seti: "Remember, the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan are not on the regular budget. They go to the Energy Department, which is the bomb-making division of the military. And they go to Veterans Affairs, paying for past wars. And as Joe Stiglitz pointed out, in terms of personnel costs, the peak year for World War II was 1993."
