"A budget for a better America"
That is some dark humour right there.
A budget in minus trillions and an arm race with China that is outgrowing the US with a comparably tiny spend on defense.
I mean why bother with a budget. This thing is clearly going to end in a Soviet-style bankruptcy.
- enaaem 6y agoWhy do you believe the US is in a worst financial position than China?
- throwaway4good 6y agoThe growth is higher in China and the spend pr. GDP on defense in much lower than the US.
- thomastjeffery 6y ago> an arm race with China that is outgrowing the US with a comparably tiny spend on defense. That isn't what they were saying. The point made is that China is spending a tiny fraction of what the US is spending on defense, yet they are managing to keep up in this arms race. Of course, the US isn't spending its entire budget on building arms; it's also spending a lot dropping an unprecedented amount of bombs in the middle east.
