re: a) Defense spending as a percentage of GDP isn't that high. Compare that with most despotic nations out there, and I think the situation isn't as distorted as you make it. Who cares wrt GDP. We don't battle other other countries with our GDP, we battle with our military. re: b) The problem with any federal government agency is how we spend the money. Not how much they spend? Get real. re: c) Americans are more overweight than ever, so that puts a lid on your theory that we're diverting money from food to defense. LOL. re: Maybe if we spent a little more on taking out the sources of inhumanity, despotism, torture, and terrorism, we can actually make progress toward that ideal. On the torture front we could take out our own military for a start. For the rest, it's a lot more than "a little more". We're already spending much more than we have. Where does the "little more" come from? Are you going to enlist, fight for free? John
