The U.S. military burden is equivalent to 4.8 percent of GDP, the largest economic burden of any OECD country.
And we are led to believe that tax rates are the biggest problem for the world policeman.

In the mid 1950s, the military accounted for 10% of the U. S. Federal budget. Somehow we survived.
Today it’s somewhere between 4 and 4.8%. And by all accounts, some people want to cut that by 75%.
The Left sure has some people’s number.
