I came across this cool website that tracks a lot of data from defense contractors. Some of these salaries are absurd! I’m in the wrong business.

Just keep paying your taxes. We will fight our way to peace any day now.

That trillion dollar budget has gotta be spent somewhere. Next year it'll be a trillion and a half.

Ole Dwight warned us in January 1961.

We gotta give half a trillion to Iran for bombing them too.
So they can buy weapons from the US to arm themselves.

I can't stand this guy, but I ran across this tweet recently and it made me think the system is FUBAR.

How lobbying ever became legal is beyond me. Legalized bribery is all that it is.
Get rid of this and add term limits is what our system desperately needs.

Government spending drives me as nutty as the next person but if being honest - it is not like a healthy amount of these monies don't hit the private or non-profit sectors at some juncture.
EBT cards - subsidies for ranchers/farmers - public healthcare, r&d, and the likes.
The USAID and DOGE and fraud are breathtaking and seem to benefit those in D.C.

What percentage of the budget is spent on the military?

Some of the alleged fraud uncovered by DOGE was completely fabricated. Ever wonder why no one prosecuted and the debt/government spending went up instead of down?

AIPAC controls congress and the president. Henry Ford was spot on all along.
