Mr. Chair, the correct number of spending this year is not 1.4% or 1.48%. It is 1.31% of GDP. Of course, as the economy grows and if money is not rolling out the door, that means that those percentages are going to continue to drop. Right now we are fifth from the bottom in NATO for the amount of spending that we are doing as a percentage of GDP. We are not making investments in our capital infrastructure, according to NATO as well, so there is much work for us to do.
Is it any wonder that President Trump called the Prime Minister “delinquent” when it comes to investing in our military and that ultimately what we are saying is “two-faced”?
