NATO and all other forms of collectivized security make a static level of defense cheaper to achieve. America does not subsidize NATO. In fact, NATO asks each member country to spend 2% of their budget on defense, primarily by purchasing expensive material (US has one of the higher spends on human resources for armies in NATO) from us.
It's been a defense sector subsidy since the death of the USSR, right up until Trump made nobody want to buy our equipment.

But the US is spending way more than necessary to defend the homeland. I'm tired of it. That money should go towards our own people. Just like Europeans have been saying. I don't want to subsidize the US military-industrial complex.
