It's more a question of political will.
As I have explained, even the current level is not ridiculous. It's now close to 2% of GDP, and an increase to 3% of GDP is enough if invested on common European projects. It"s not huge. And that would put Europe at 50% more than the current Russian war economy budget in PPP, and 4 to 5 more in nominal value.
Some budget choices need to be made , of course.
It's quite feasible but the political will to do it is currently lacking.
Another decision which requires political will is nuclear proliferation.
Give nuclear weapon technology to Poland, Germany Finland, etc..
The government cant, won’t investigate
itself . Even when bi partisan agencies come in such as the GAO and exposé malfeasance, nothing happens.
They all been beating this up for decades .
2013: Chairman Issa. The Oversight Committee exists to secure two fundamental principles: first, Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well spent and, second, Americans deserve an efficient, effective government that works for them. Our duty on the Oversight and Government Reform.
