A little quiz Betsy's Page Which president had defense spending as a higher percentage of GDP? Jimmy Carter or George W. Bush? I was surprised to learn that the answer is Jimmy Carter. <<< In fact, Mr. Bush's request would only bring defense outlays to 4.2% of GDP, or about 20% of total federal spending. That compares to 4.7% of GDP even under Jimmy Carter, and 6.2% of GDP in 1986 at the peak of the Reagan defense buildup >>> Check out the WSJ for the chart of defense spending. betsyspage.blogspot.com opinionjournal.com opinionjournal.com
