Yep, but the solution is not to fake the table with CSS, but to lay things out differently:

Code:
<div class="table">
<p>Ordnance and ordnance stores: <span class="amount">$45,000,000</span></p>
<p>Aircraft and aeronautical material: <span class="amount">$29,775,000</span></p>
...
</div>
where you'd probably have some specific margins and indents in "div.table p". In "span.amount" you could include something like:

Code:
span.amount {
  display: block;
  text-align: right;
  font-weight: bold;
}
