Exactly how do we support NATO if there is not a check writing in there somewhere?
Hmm, sounds like the kind of thing one could easily google before going on a rant...

Contributions are based on a formula that considers the Gross National Income of each member nation. We pay ~22% of NATO's budget. Germany pays ~14.7. Our GDP is $18.57 Trillion. Germany's is $3.47 Trillion. So, we pay 1.5 times as much into NATO as Germany, meanwhile our GDP is over 5 times greater than Germany's (the GNI ratio is also > 5).
Semantics indeed!
