Are you saying that military budget is a waste?
Most of it. We spend more than the whole rest of the planet put
together.
I think the Chinese would like to see us cut it by about 90%.
We waste more than four times the amount the PRC wastes on military
spending. Our military budget by some estimates approaches $700 billion
a year, while the Chinese spend about $150 billion.
If we cut our military spending in half, we'd still be spending more
than twice what the PRC spends.
What a waste, for both countries.
