not sure what any of these three terms mean . . .

So the fact that we use more of our GDP on the military means we need to use more of our GDP on health care?

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Again, it's one factor in many.

If the US had a military of half its current cost we could pay for a lot of stuff.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

The US spends 17.1% of GDP on health care, Canada 10.4%. We pay more for health care as a percent of GDP than any other country in the world. http://data.worldbank.org/...year_high_desc=false

You'd think we'd be trying to save money on that since we spend so much on the military.

but then think about how non-homogenous your military is!

What was that dry drunk thing you mentioned?

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

That's true. The problem is that there are so very, very few good pie charts.

I hope you'll agree this one is the best:

I'll throw in the softwood industry, and, effectively, massive subsidies from US taxpayers. In addition to military that you can run on the cheap because we have your back, we have much more of the specialized hospital capacity, and Canada (wisely) uses that as needed, we also pay far more for pharmaceuticals, thus allowing for huge industry profits and much cheaper prices there and everywhere else. That's a lot of savings. We also provide employment for all your better comedians!

ps on another note, Canada being by far the best place in the western hemisphere, why do you not have near the problem with illegal immigration that we do...heck, why do people stop here at all, and not just continue the pilgrimage north to the promised land?

My threads are awesome. Starts out as me having lunch and poking slowguy (because for some odd reason what I eat for lunch really bothers him) and morphs into a debate about Canadian demographics.

Fucking genius.
