How can it outspend everyone in everything using relative numbers? Everyone has the same 100%, just distributed differently.

How can it outspend everyone in everything using relative numbers?
Everyone has the same 100%, just distributed differently.
- Rinzler89 2y agoRelative meaning as a percentage of each country's respective GDP. I edited now to make it more clear.
- smeej 2y agoI don't see how this solves the problem? If Country A is spending 10% of it's GDP on 10 things, Country B cannot possibly outspend it in every category as a percentage of their respective GDPs, because "percentage of GDP" is always a 100-point scale. If you go up one percent in one category, you have to go down one percent somewhere in the other categories.
- ysavir 2y agoDon't forget that us Americans pay 120% of what we should be paying, so there are extra percent points to go around.
