I'm not a fan of comparisons like that because they don't account for cost or standard of living between counties, just raw exchange rates. It would be especially pronounced when including countries like India and Russia.

You're right, but when the numbers are so lopsided on the US' favour, there's no way in hell that cost of living can account for such a stark difference.

I mean, the US has 20 aircraft carriers and the rest of the world has 28. The proof is in the pudding.

The proof is actually in the eating, not the pudding.
