Why the U.S. Defense Budget Measures the Wrong Thing (Palmer Luckey’s Argument)

The U.S. defense budget could soon reach numbers as high as $1.5 trillion. But does spending more money actually make a country safer? In this explainer, we break down the argument made by Anduril founder Palmer Luckey: That the United States is measuring military strength the wrong way—by inputs (how much money we spend) instead of outputs (what we actually build and deploy). We look at: Why focusing on total spending can hide massive inefficiencies The “input vs output” problem in defense procurement How the U.S. can outspend rivals and still produce less The role of cost-plus contracting and the incentives it creates Why shipbuilding and industrial capacity matter more than headlines How startups like Anduril think differently about reinvesting, innovation, and speed And why AI and autonomy could change both the cost and effectiveness of future defense systems The big question isn’t “Should we spend more or less?” It’s: Are we getting real capability for the money we’re already spending? #DefenseBudget #MilitarySpending #Anduril #PalmerLuckey #NationalSecurity #AI #DefenseTech #Geopolitics #USMilitary #China #Innovation #GovernmentSpending #Efficiency #Explainer #FutureOfWar
