That 13% is still more than the next 9 highest military budgets in the world combined. We're not financing our military, we're lining the pockets of the military industrial complex, on the taxpayer's dime.
- thwarted 2y agoThe military industrial complex is a socialist jobs program, both for those directly on the DOD's payroll and for the employees of the firms that contract with the government under the auspices of the military.
- andyferris 2y agoMany/most countries have national tax and not (any or as much) state taxes. To compare across nations you’d need to divide the expenditure by the national sum of the taxes of the various government levels.
- Vegenoid 2y agoI don’t understand your point here, isn’t comparing US military spending to other countries’ military spending in terms of USD a fair comparison?
