America Pays 68% of NATO’s $1.3 Trillion Budget

Washington never learns. The U.S. is footing 68% of NATO’s bill—that’s $860 billion out of the alliance’s $1.3 trillion defense budget. Meanwhile, the next biggest contributor, Germany, pays just $68 billion—a fraction of what we shell out. This isn’t just unfair; it’s outright theft from the American taxpayer.

We have homeless veterans, children going hungry, crumbling infrastructure, and underfunded police departments, yet our leaders are more concerned with defending Europe than fixing our own backyard. NATO has been on life support for decades, surviving only because America keeps writing blank checks.

Where does it end? The U.S. isn’t a charity for failing European governments. While they pour money into social programs and subsidized energy, we bankroll their defense. This is not a military alliance—it’s a scam.

The American people are waking up. The days of unlimited foreign giveaways are numbered.
