Subsidizing the Security of Wealthy Allies

How much does the United States spend on the military relative to our allies? A lot. 


A new Cato video, produced by Cato multimedia gurus Caleb Brown and Austin Bragg, puts this comparison in perspective. The data jumps out of the Cato infographic from last week, and shows how we are subsidizing the security of our wealthy allies who can and should defend themselves. Instead, we provide for their security while they free‐​ride and spend their money on everything else (including bloated welfare states). Your tax dollars at work.
