U.S. military spending has soared over the past decade, and they now spend $700+ billion a year on their military. This dwarfs the military spending of any other country on the planet.
SIPRI, Wikipedia
The No. 2 military spender in the world, China, spends about $140 billion a year on its military, less than a quarter as much. Their military spending is so huge, in fact, that it accounts for a staggering 41% of all the military spending in the world.
So it isn't unreasonable to suggest that the US could cut their military spending while still easily being the best military in the world.
So, what does ot think? Should the US decrease military spending, or should it stay the same? Or should the us increase military spending? (although I doubt a lot of people would support the latter)
