BAD imformation

response to  Max Joseph, Erin Bosworth, Tom Van Buskirk, and Ariel Schulman's post Missiles and Mortgages

The numbers used in this movie are very inaccurate. For example, military spending is actually only about 3.2 to 3.3% of GDP (the only meaningful way to represent this information), depending on where you look. Many organizations report this number, but the main source most go to is the CIA fact book (Google it).

It's also misleading to report the 3.6 number for education too, because most education funding comes from the states in the US. It's not a federal obligation. There are good reasons for this but that topic is perhaps too large for this venue.
