We’re spending a big fat ZERO dollars per person on defense while our peers are shelling out $833 each—over 100% below what any normal country would spend to keep its people safe. The ask isn’t even to match them dollar for dollar, just to get us up to $750 so we’re not sitting ducks compared to the rest of the world.
