A fucking D+ in infrastructure.

JUST

infrastructurereportcard.org/

because us spends money fighting useless wars instead of spending it on improving their own country.

1. Smaller country with more resources.
2. Asians do everything better, that's just a rule of life.

it's small

most asian countries are trash

Automobile and oil/gas companies want money.

>597 billion USD of military budget
this

spbp

not a lot

varies by state. Some have decent to pretty dman good while others it's dogshit and declining.

It's only better in the cities.
In the countryside it's worse.

Let's not ignore the fact that they also have an aging infrastructure in certain cities. Not that our rust belt cities are any better.

Of course not

In urban areas of Japan, greater population density. Population density goes hand in hand with good infrastructure. Sprawly areas means infrastructure becomes expensive

fucking this. this is why Japanese has been refused to participate wars fat Americans supported.

Won't mean in shit in the next 10+ years, their birth rate is declining at ridiculous levels LMAO

They got a really great opportunity to build modern cities from the ground up

It's almost as if almost all major American cities have a certain ethnic group which few people in the '50s wanted to live around, and almost all infrastructural investment since the '50s has been devoted to avoiding this ethnic group at all possible costs

hmmm......made me think quite a bit

If you wonder why some American highways take meandering paths, it is because they were planned to go through black neighborhoods while preserving white ones.

Japanese government is dominated by unaccountable, faceless bureaucrats who have their decisions rubberstamped by pliant, clueless politicians who win re-election by bribing overrepresented rural areas with Tokyo's tax money. Usually this works poorly compared to a real democracy but sometimes, like with transportation infrastructure, it works well. In this case by making it impossible for local opposition to stop a needed project or unions to restrict the supply of construction labor

>let's build the infrastructure of 21st century america
*nukes all major cities*

ebin

>or unions to restrict the supply of construction labor

samurai construction techniques

SUPERIOR SAMURAI CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES, ROADS FOLDED OVER 1 MILLION TIMES.

>this whole thread
>implying

No but really Japanese railways are better because of better techniques

fake. this has to be fake.

notice the keyword "discretionary"
military expenditures as a percentage of the total US budget isn't very much. most of the budget goes to welfare (including healthcare).

It is
They spend 3.2% of there economy on military budget
Though if you want to have a laf have a look at Russian or the polish military expense

It is, however the majority of our spending does go to welfare and stuff along that line.

It's only "discretionary spending".
here's the full chart

Earthquakes ensure the infrastructure is never more than a few years old.

Doesn't that pretty much ruin the housing value of any property there?

>It is
3.2% of the GDP maybe not of the government revenue (taxes).

>It is.
It isn't.

I wonder how much of that social security and medicare and the like is spent on nigs.

social security is for retirees and medicare is mostly for old people

if you're talking about just general welfare programs, here are those stats

>muh birthrate

americans too dumb to understand that an island nation with limited living space can't support unlimited population growth.

Population is like a pendulum, birthrates can make a turn around in a year or two if the conditions are there.

Meanwhile america's "birthrate" is 80% niggers and spics. lets see who's more fucked in 10 years.

Are you being stupid? They aren't slowing down or flatlining they are actually decreasing in population.

Having a population decrease is super bad especially if you sustain it for too long since you tax base is going ot be lower and they'll have to pay much more money into the system per person to retain the standards they did.

Like 3 brothers rent a big apartment and they split the bill each to everything. Suddenly one has to move abroad so now to retain the same QoL they had with 3 men the two bros have to pay more to keep things the same or give up some things that they liked. No imagine that their uncle is now living with them because his house got burned and is retired. So now you have a dependent in the system that pays nothing into the system, consumes resources and increases costs. So they now have 3 men in house but the two bros are paying more and have deadweight and lets not bring up their aunt who also is retired and she has medical needs as well that makes her even a bigger burden on their brothers resources.
