In an article written by BBC news states that china will increase military spending by 7% in 2017. A 7% increase in china's military spending is still nowhere near the military budget of the united states. We spend nearly a whopping 400 billion more dollars on our military than china does yet we still continue to add billions more dollars to the budget. The U.S. is worried because we do not know the weapon systems in which they are developing. Instead of the government being worried about our own people, our own social programs, we are worried about china that spends 27.8% less on military! It is absolutely ridiculous what the government's’ priorities are. We have children fighting for an education, unemployment rates continuing to rise and the government is worried about another
