so can you bian rather be like tempera
then like belgium
hopewell certainly not come good to be with you i i think the number of course
but you're leaving out there
it if the underlying denominator were talked about eight percent of g_d_p_ in
these are all numbers out of of expanding as a percentage of g_d_p_
government spends a person as you can leave out driving while impaired
astonishing percent bar kgp
of a pardon
what is a ten percent of our g_d_p_ i have no idea but it's a relatively with
a half trillion dollars which is more than one hundred percent of the treaty
pia post of the country beautiful if i were much larger than most of these
countries uh... what i have twin towers is an income
people bull amount of money get how many trillions do you wanna spent on the few
topic two and a half trillion is enough to have a decent propriety life right
now we're spending thirty eight percent and the countries that are doing much
better than ours are stunning thirty more than thirty eight percent in fact
that the fifty two percent and the doing very well thank you very much
i would rather be spending like them then like burma that spending less than
us
in fact i can find any country that spending under eighteen percent
i don't wanna emulate he de la allows uganda guinea
in bangladesh and causes you can get and here's the philippines is below eighteen
percent but i've been in the philippines most of those islands and i used to be
relief work there buzz those islands it just reminded nothing poverty not to
mention the fact that got major wars going hockey senator picked up in that
to happen really getting dollars is not enough money for the government to spend
each year well show we shall we say okay france has one fifty two million people
juries fifty three million whatever it is an
and uh... and then they're spending a half a trillion dollars in ages
mistaken number an abstract number like that aside i think a real number he just
a number six all i got us to try it out our g_d_p_ is fifteen trillion
john f_ r_ g_p_s_ fifteen trillion and we're all the spending two trillion then
the and then the countries by the way that look like they're doing really well
ur stunning about forty percent of the g_d_p_ then we should be spending if our
g_d_p_ is fifteen truly we should be spending around six or seven truly and
if we did that like those countries all of our kids to go to college for a free
everybody would have national health care everybody would have a stable and
he's retirement and like germany that's doing really really well there but they
wouldn't even take a hit during the recession how how big is that mark
military
that's the how big is france's military
that big u_s_ as it appears to be part of it
six hundred billion dollars a year which is more than one hundred percent of the
g_d_p_ of most of the country's that you just mentioned
it's not it's not it's not more than a hundred percent of
bid of g_o_p_ you don't you think that burma has a treaty payable over six
hundred billion dollars a year
now that i guarantee you the burma's problems manila painful burma is
probably spending more as a percentage of their g_d_p_ on their military than
we are
i've been on the border with burma bernal mostly attn pretty pretty much
i've been in the karen refugee camps in thailand on the border with bird burma
their driving the uh... the indigenous people of the cold dirty r_e_m_ medical
the karen peoples the traveling
and about the only job
that you can get right now in burma
is to be in the army
i'll betcha that their military spending is probably twice what ours is a
percentage of g_d_p_ because i don't see every other american being employed by
the military saima north korea i mean north korea's way down on this post
cited is that what you want i mean i i just don't understand these you know you
point here try to compare apples two oranges i'm trying to compare apples
apples and saying if you want an entire the haha i will give you we are staying
absurd amounts of money in our military any he'll fully a quarter of our deficit
right now george bush with inherited
a surplus any turned into a debt enjoythemasti deficit and and what it's
really a quarter of that was to unfunded wars and if you're opposed through the
war in afghanistan iraq and you think we should get out today
we should close half our military bases around the country can u_n_ i absolutely
agree
but that has nothing to do with this argument operated com part of the
calendar and the pool canopy i think a big issue as we discussed in our book
referred to going into the the titanic twelve election
being issue with that they prepare po state which have a up socialist prime
minister a dot blot on the export of would edi tor broader toward term that
is saved his political affiliation will take up a terrible socialist being at
the top of the balance budget amendment this other countries in europe that are
adopted the balance budget amendment the bottom line becomes
we need to balance carpark and it's and any other countries in europe have
pretty much know choice because they no longer have control over their own
economies the members of the european union
if you want the united states to have some for you know do you think that the
united nations should take over our economy pose certainly not a big
proponent of you and i realize that i would use the example of standing to buy
much of the european central banks demand on un using big sample but even
restraint on the web and understand stain is that you and i will admit that
you cannot you don't need a or what not to create a rocket scientist to
understand
all you did in fact it up
third-grade math education to understand that you can't spend more money can you
take etc and why does every president from george washington
through your here below the ronald reagan and bush is and
why has literally every president of the states
than the found in this country been just fine with their country having said that
i've been but i think it's an issue of a breaking point up this president uh...
that our current president in one half of the presidential term
at the network that wrote that than the first one hundred progresses the first
to have none of which would have happened had george bush not had to
unfunded wars an unfunded product market medicare part d mandate goat and go into
a giant
crash in our economy by george when an energy tax cut for billionaires and
billionaires those four things make up a hundred percent of the deficit the
georgia david brock obama inherited
in your blame that obama
net note tom what i'm saying that uh... if you want to make the twenty twelve
election about blaming george w_ bush
then liberal is in the scandal losing twenty twelve you you can't you can't
scream in my own about from previous administration and think that the
american people that's nonsense with power for us that that that that is
absolute nonsense danielle george w_ bush spent half his administration when
things are looking for work that way
and and and and and while it was campaign against jimmy carter six years
ago is administration by a lot of actual carter was still in i remember that i
was a lot of them can
so i you know i actually i think you know campaigning in search of the bush
who work but woolsey uh... can cook as he be p_c_r_ you that or you can read
all about her victim thanks for being with us tonight
