<description>This is a good example of falsified propaganda. A part of budget is compared to a whole budget of other counties.

For the USA, a small part of budget (federal part, practically not used for US life but for other purposes) was used. A multiplier of ~ 2.5 will appear if state budgets (they pay for the US needs) will be added. And the whole budget, with counties and citied will go to 55 to 70% of GDP. 

Why do not take a federal budget of  some another federal country, like &quot;high budget&quot; Sweden and find out, how much higher in reality the USA federal budget?
