>>We spend around 4% and we used to spend in the teens. Defense is becoming a smaller and smaller part of our economy.<<

Tim -

Are you basing that statement on the budget figures, or on the actual spending? And are you counting all the products sold by American companies that are actually manufactured abroad as part of our GDP?

I think there is more than one way of calculating our actual defense outlays, and our GDP.
