Finally… Here’s the SHAME LIST of NATO Freeloaders

"These countries have collectively cheated US taxpayers of $134 billion!

So here it is. The complete list NATO countries not meeting their defense funding commitments. And it’s US taxpayers making up the shortfall.

[list]

"Who are the freeloaders? The 23 include nearly all of the richest Western European nations. Germany — Europe’s wealthiest NATO member with a $4 trillion GDP — is $38.2 billion short on its $80 billion spending bill by only investing 1.18 percent of its GDP on defense. Italy is $23.1 billion short; Spain is $18.8 billion short; Canada is $16.7 billion short; NATO host Belgium is $5.6 billion short; France is $5.5 billion short; and Luxembourg — which has Europe’s greatest average annual income per person at $102,000, contributed less than 0.5 percent of its GDP for defense. There may be an excuse for the newest members from Eastern Europe with developing economies for not being able to meet these funding levels, but there is no excuse for the wealthy nations."

I've been harping on this for a long time. When people point to those countries as shining examples of socialist programs that work, I have to tell them that's because they're not paying their fair share for their defense and instead use that money for their welfare programs...and their "fair share" needs to be upped some, not just to make up for cheating, but they need to pay more...to be fair.
