Then I remind them that our defence spending is 2.6% of our GDP when the recommended amount is 4%.
... But hey, PureAryan: whatever makes you happy man.
One solution would be to make the defence industry almost completely indigenous.
That way, defence spending will actually help the domestic economy, create jobs, etc... basically creating an economic multiplier effect.
Whereas purchasing weapons from overseas just means that money is leaving the economy, and creating jobs elsewhere.
