No, they don’t. The US military spending far outpaces any other country. The US spends more than the next 10 countries combined! You don’t “need” that much spending, but your GDP is happy for that extra trillion every year that some day will trickle down for sure wink wink.

In summary, your rhetoric is pure propaganda of conservative talking points, unfortunately.

I’m truly amazed that this was ever a thing. The US is a case study of destroying value while raising GDP.
