A COSTLY DEFENSE.
- Authors
Williams, Cindy
- Abstract
The author discusses the effects of U.S. sequestration in 2013, caused by failure to pass a national budget, on the U.S. defense industry and national security. The defense budgets of countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are mentioned, as well as the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and U.S. President Barack Obama's budget proposal. Charts are presented comparing U.S. defense budgets with other countries and tracking spending between 2001 and 2021.
