JF, > I see Tim always comparing military spending to GDP, deficit to GDP, everything to GDP. I assumed it as a legitimate metric.

It is, but Z was originally using the "per capita" metric.

Scary to think about the deficit as a percentage of GDP, though. Military spending can easily be reduced, but the deficit is also a function of revenues, which aren't easily raised without profound side effects.
