That's a meaningless comparison unless you account for population differences. Per capita would be useful to show.



Do you really think per capita works in this situation? It's not like your average citizen can pick up a surplus grenade launcher. Breaking down geo-politically would be more useful.

But grabbing per capita values from bjterry and going by party...

Senator Avg per Capita

Democrat $4.14 External (VI, PR, ..) $33.19 Independent $9.07 Republican $7.21


I think what might make more sense is to account for the location of large military bases.
