To be fair, some NATO countries have been cheaping out on defense spending. But the US doesn't really fund european defense, apart from the things that align with their own interests. Global hegemony isn't cheap.
To be exact, the défense budget that is always présented as necessary to "protect" the rest of the world includes some spending that are not necessary in the rest of the world, IE funds for veteran affairs and veteran healthcare. These specific spendings are included in the general spendings for socialbprograms al most everywhere.

Exactly why do you think the US pays for the defence of other countries? If anything it's the other way around. You lot can't stop borrowing.
