" increase military budget from 4.4% to 17.5% of the GDP" Why? We already spend more than the next ten countries combined, and most of those are our allies. What do we gain doing this?

That isn't a political system, those are your ideas. I have different ideas. Democracy is set up to look at both of our ideas and work something out. You seem to want something different? You think we should spend 17% on defense. Why? It is bloated now.
