If you compare “10 percent” with “three-quarters” it sounds like you’re comparing 3/4/10.
Either compare 1/10 to 3/4. Or (much better) 10% to 75%

Trump Is Coming for Veterans’ Disability Benefits - The American Prospect
The veterans disability system has traditionally been a sacred cow for politicians of all stripes. Now, as part of the conservative war on the Department of Veterans Affairs, the administration is falsely alleging that many former soldiers are cheating the system.

interesting/scary factoid -- the only reason the US is not in a recession right now is all the $$ being invested in AI, which amounts to perhaps $1 trillion-- or half of GDP growth in the first half of this year.
