Apples and oranges comparison. The US subsidies most EU militaries. NATO spending is a great example. US is the only member who actually fulfills their obligations.

It doesn't matter what the money is being spent on. For purposes of budget and tax, all that matters is that the money is being spent. The US chooses to spend more, to have a big government. Other countries choose to spend less and have smaller governments. They both have to get the money somewhere.
