    sorry this was sarcasm tilted toward my more progressive american brethen or older ones. There was a big thing about gaps in the eighties and there is a simpsons episode that makes fun of it with these songs the piano player plays at the point they are at the capitol called cesspool on the potomac. Unfortunately I cannot find the relevant clip. So it was literally like politicians saying we can’t abide an X gap where X was size of the military, deficit, some random technology considered important, etc. Usually in terms of military capability.
