America vastly overspends on the military compared with other areas of government.

This preponderance of military spending applies to all ten years of Obama s medium term scenario.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

NATO has been trying for years without success to get its member states to spend the required 2 of GDP on defense.

The European members of NATO, it may be interesting to note, spend two thirds of what the United States spends for military purposes.

Japan armed itself only lightly (restricting military expenditures to about 1 of GNP), and focused on economic growth.

In terms of global priorities, this figure compares with the 900 billion that the world currently commits to military expenditures each year.

As a share of total government spending, defense expenditure has fallen from 7.8 in 1998 to 6.1 in 2006.

But confining discussion about defense commitment to the percent of GDP spent on the military is insufficient because there are economies of scale in defense spending.

Despite British forces having been engaged in two major military operations since 2003, defense spending represents only 2.3 of GDP the lowest since the 1930 s.

Some of the increased expenditures went to the costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the broader Global War on Terrorism, but much of it was wasted on weapons that don t work against enemies that don t exist.

But, while there is no substitute for appropriate defense budgets, we could get more from current spending levels, especially through a smarter approach to defense acquisition.

America s military spending still nearly equals that of the rest of the world combined, two decades after the end of the Cold War.
