In other words, we're very close to equalling all the other countries put together. Eisenhower was right. What's even more sobering is when you consider that much of our "foreign aid" money to other countries is given to them so that they may use it to purchase American armaments. I bet if you included this backdoor patronage, we'd easily be over 50%. -CW Hawk Owl -
