U. S. Defense Spending Is Very High Compared To Other Countries

See Happy Tax Day! Rest Assured. Your Money Is Well Spent Defending Rich Allies by Christopher Preble at CATO. He has some great charts. Using either defense spending per capita or % of GDP going to defense, the U. S. spends 2 or more times as much as other major countries. And it is even more if you include Homeland Security, the energy department (nuclear weapons) and the department of veterans affairs.
