So if their govt. doesn't spend much on military....then what DO they spend all their money on? Free healthcare? Entitlements?

Every economic analyst that I've seen on the news has said that those countries have simply promised more to people than could have ever been sustained.

Am I misinformed on that?

EDIT: And that doesn't make "the poor" the "cause of govt. collapse". It's the govt. that did it. From what the economic analysts said...the govt. over there has entitlement programs for EVERYONE. So the hard working people get it too (like healthcare and other benefits)
