US military spending is nearing a 70 year low as a percentage of GDP. It has fallen by about $150 billion since 2009. By 2019 it&#x27;s projected to hit about 3% of GDP. By comparison, France and the UK are around 2%. Military spending right now is not the primary problem facing the US fiscally.<p>Entitlements are the priority when it comes to US spending. They take up 60%+ of the federal budget. When you throw in the State and Local budgets (which combined are nearly the size of the federal spending), military spending is a modest fraction of US spending habits.
