If you accept the source, that is your problem, however it does not mean it did not happen.

You said our military spending as a percentage of GDP was 'small potatoes'. And I've heard this type of comment from other right-wingers. Your math error isn't important, but where's the logic? Or am I missing your point? Are we supposed to be sanguine about deficit spending because right now it's a small percentage of GDP? What the heck does GDP have to do with it anyway? If I rack up 100k in credit card debt and it starts to crowd out my ability to pay basic bills, do I sit back and say 'oh, but my debt is really only .0000000000000000000000000001% of GDP? Show me the logic, please, in your thinking.
