SamuelRSmith said: No, what I'm saying is the military spending to budget ratio will be different, because State level Governments pay for welfare programs, education, different subsidies, etc. In most other countries, those things are paid for by the central Government, so the military takes up a lower percentage of the overall budget of the central Government. |
Again, maybe, I'm not denying that the ratio could be lower by a tiny bit. I just doubt this will outweight wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Libya including logistics and supplying the allies there like ANA or SPLM, don't forget to add maintance costs for these:
You know, there's a saying - want bankrupt a country? sell an aircraft carrier to it.
