This chart shows the percentage of government spending that was spent on military

technology and resources from the years 2001 until 2015. It shows how the
percentage of spending increased until about 2010 and then dropped until about
present day. This chart relates to my research paper because spending money on
drones for the military would directly correlate to the percentage of the
governments money being spent on the military. This could be used in my paper by
showing that a large percentage of our money has been spent on the military and
the advancement of military technology, so I could argue that to continue to cut
costs due to our trade deficits, that attack drones should not be investigated further
at this time. Drones could be used still for surveillance, but just cutting the weapons
out of drones could drastically decrease military spending on this technology. These
two charts show a correlation between increased military spending and increased
terrorist deaths. This suggests that we could possibly cut terrorist related incidents
by less expensive means, or by cutting expenditure on the drone strikes (which
locals vocally disagree with) and use drones for surveillance. By doing this, we could
focus more on the rebuilding of nations instead of self-defense of a nation half a
world away.
