Flash Facts:
Canada budgets an additional $10 billion on defense for the next 5 years. That’s about $2 billion per year over their current $13 billionbudget. So, let’s say their current 2005 plan is $15 billion, OK? Close enough for jazz, you know?
Our 2005 defense budget is $401.7 billion.
Canada has just over 32,500,000 citizens as of the latest census.
The United States has just over 293,000,000 people in its borders that call it home.
This means that Canadians are paying $461.53 per citizen per year while Americans are paying $1370.99 per person per year.
Conclusion:
I am three times safer than Canadians! Yay!
UPDATE: Bob in the comments helped me with math and made sure I pointed my nose at the right ass when it came to doing the numbers. I misread my original source and I thank him for the asssistance.
