8T isnt really that much for America, especially over 24 years. And it's not like China does not spend on defense.

I would be cautious applying broad statements and simple causes. Often we take these opportunities to connect it with whatever pet issue we individually care about. That's why you can see people blaming everything from zoning policies to DEI.
