It depends on other conditions beside the mentioned fiscal difficulties.
For example, if a war is pending, then military spending should be the priority.
On the other hand, if there are no security threats, proportionately more can be spent on non-military purpose.
Further, it also depends on how strong the military is relative to other threats or potential threats. Alternatively, it depends on whether how important and urgent of the non-military spending needs are.
So, you probably guessed, hi, this guy is probably an economist. While, an amateur economist, I'd say.
