To put this into perspective : 155 billion is almost 4.5% of the German GDP. The US is spending 3.7% this year. The original 55 billion was equal to what Russia was planning to spend this year on its military (at least officially) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_...
To put this into perspective: Build Back Better was at its highest $4.5 trillion over 10 years. The lowest point was $1.5 trillion for 10 years. Biden didn't do anything serious to actually pass it. But $700Bln+ for yearly defense budget? EASY!
