Thanks, Larry Shapiro, for parroting one of the most tired out leftist anti-American canards about U.S. arms sales.
The post above contains the identical formula that America bashers in Europe and acrosts the glove love to tirelessly trot out: The evil “Military Industrial Complex” canard.
The truth is this:
American arms sales and aid packages to the world amount to a PALTRY $9-10 Billion per year — and this is a generous estimate.
Plugging this number into the annual GDP of America — one finds that if the totality of arms packages to the world ceased today — the U.S. economy, which generates approximately $1.4 billion per hour in wealth, would take about 5-6 hours to cover the shortfall in terms of dollars.
It’s demonstrable that U.S. arms sales to the world are an utterly negligible part of our economy — despite the lies perpetuated by all of America’s detractors — domestic and foreign.
These detractors are nothing more than leftist liars who are bent on defaming America through lies and disinformation.
