摘要

Adm. Michael G. Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently told the New York Times the US should spend four percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. In 2000, DOD critic Chuck Spinney said spending four percent would be tantamount to a "declaration of total war on Social Security and Medicare" in the future. Clearly, the "percent-of-GDP" matter sparks controversy. The debate can become pretty arcane. First, some basics: 1. What is GDP? As defined by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, it is "the market value of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States" in a year. 2. How big is it? BEA says in 2008 it is some $14.2 trillion. 3. Does GDP change? Yes, significantly over time. When Spinney spoke, it was about $9.8 trillion. Thus, today's US economic output is 45 percent larger.

Mullen)上将最近对《纽约时报》表示,美国应将国防生产总值(GDP)的4%用于国防。 2000年,国防部评论家查克·斯普尼(Chuck Spinney)表示,将4%的支出等同于将来“宣布对社会保障和医疗保险的全面战争”。显然,“ GDP百分比”问题引发了争议。辩论可能变得很神秘。首先,有一些基本知识:1.什么是GDP?根据美国经济分析局的定义,它是“一年内美国劳动和财产产生的商品和服务的市场价值”。 2.它有多大? BEA称,2008年这一数字约为14.2万亿美元。 3. GDP会变化吗?是的,随着时间的流逝很明显。当斯皮尼讲话时,它约为9.8万亿美元。因此,今天的美国经济产出增长了45%。
