    American spends the majority of its money on its worldwide spanning military … the largest military in the world … yet they never want to cut its funding

    And they wonder why their government never has enough money to spend on its own people

    It’s like being a 400lb blob and telling everyone you’re really going to lose some weight - so you do absolutely nothing about your diet and instead start clipping your fingernails and cutting your hair to decrease your weight.

      That’s not true:

      Controversial pie chart removed until I review what’s what. I have no time right now, I’m at work, but just in case it’s BS I’ll pull it

      The US spends more on healthcare, education and social security, and Elon “Sieg Heil” Musk sure is going after those. or not…

      It’s not that he’s failing to cut spending: firing federal employees right and left and destroying federal agencies WILL yield savings. What’s not taken into account here is that it will also yield a disaster.

      In other words, he’s curing the patient by killing the patient. But technically, he’s curing the patient I guess.
