    Record homelessness, record income inequality, record people bankrupted by medical bills, record personal debt.

    This country doesn’t do shit for the working class other than throw them occasional stale bread crumbs

      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%.
