re: 50% Of YOUR Tax Dollars goes to Entitlements. This is unsustainable.

I don’t know where you’re getting your numbers since you didn’t link anything. Entitlement spending is completely insane the past 2 years - primarily the TRIPLING of what they are calling “income security.” That’s all the Covid money they threw at people when they shut everything down and wouldn’t allow business to operate. Stimulus checks, unemployment, SNAP, Medicaid, etc.
Prior to the last two years of insanity, the largest entitlement spending was Social Security, which I fully agree is horribly mismanaged but calling something that people are forced to pay into and then hopefully receive something back later an “entitlement” is shady government language.
Check these charts - that first one is a doozy.
Official .gov website these are their own numbers they are freely admitting to.
