yes, it's based on "4% for Freedom". It's based on a bumper sticker.
**I** believe it should be based on our security needs instead. For that matter, how do you think the Def Dept (or the congressional vultures hawks) would respond to FALLING budgets during recessionary times?
It's dumb, also because we don't need MORE money put into defense.
Furthermore, it's based on what the economy produces, GDP. Not related in any way to the government's revenues. Not based on, you know, taxes. But hey, our net worth is x dollars, therefore, 0.04x must be spent on defense. Completely asinine.
