Looking at this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_governmen... The USA is at 38%. That's pretty low compared to most EU countries (e.g. France or Italy are at 58%), even lower than Brazil or Japan. And Japan has no offensive military to throw money at. | ||

in terms of things that the government provides to the public, absolutely. The US is incapable of doing anything other than through the military. | ||
