842 billion for defense sounds big, but under Biden there’s just been explosive growth in GDP, so it’s only about 3% of a 26 trillion dollar economy.
When I was a kid in the sixties the USA spent 10% of GDP for tanks and guns and bullets and war stuff.
Not only, is Biden outpacing Ronald Reagan’s defense build up, over in Europe our allies are finally building up defense and even the Japanese are building arms, plus we’ve picked up the Scandinavian counties in NATO.
Talk about your arsenal of Democracy.
Biden is stronger on defense than any President since FDR
And even liberals agree, building tanks and guns and ships and war planes adds to growth.
They'd rather see it spent on peaceful things, but still…
