Look, I’m just showing you raw data for how the money is spent. Argue what you want about the utility of that spent money but you can’t argue we spend more of defense than on our own people. 49% of our budget goes toward entitlement programs. I’d like to see what other highly regarded countries are spending as a percentage of yearly expenses - I doubt they extend much beyond 25-30%.
Top 4 spending is social security, health, and Medicare: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/
Don’t fall for bullshit pictures without something to back it up. We spend a lot of fucking money in the US on non-war shit (most) and people like me that care where their taxes go know this.
I’m dreaming of an oversupply of trade workers. It’s too expensive right now to get any work done. Lots of scammers too.
It almost sounds like you’re describing a charge card instead of a credit card. American Express offers those in the US, but it’s not nearly as widespread in usage as a standard bank credit card.
I just don’t really give a shit. I like the car and it works well for me and provides a lot of comfort. I’m sure the ceos of all the other car companies are equally as shitty as Elon but quiet so does it really even matter? Don’t kid yourself that you’re saving the world for buying a Volvo or Toyota instead of a Tesla.
My Whole Foods just uses paper bags, so I guess this doesn’t affect me :shrug:.
Ese: dude, guy, pal, buddy
I making the argument that the picture is stupid propaganda. The seed of truth is that we manage to have the world best military with only 13% of our budget expenditure.
