Many economist say that 90 per cent of the national debt was caused by
defense spending on wars and contingencies.
While the US spends 2 per cent of its GDP on infrastructure, the
Chinese spend 9 per cent of their GDP. While the Us spends six per
cent of our GDP on defense, the Chinese spend 1/6 th of what we
spend.
The Chinese of the 21st century will be remembered as builders and we
will be remembered as foolish war monkeys.
