Seems a bit odd to focus on such minutia in terms of spending, when you are looking at a chart that shows the egregious waste of trillions of dollars going to a very small number of people.
Do news reports, which we've seen, of Military Contractors cutting corners on flack jackets for the troops eg, to save themselves millions of dollars, while endangering the lives of the troops bother you as much as a few guys buying ice cream instead of peas? And that same contractor spending his ill-gotten gains on a multi-million dollar Sweet Sixteen party for his daughter? Or whatever the party was for??
Frankly I don't care what poor people receiving help from the government spend that money on. I care what the war mongers spend trillions of our tax dollars on because that money could be used to create jobs here, and these guys who have you so upset could be working.
Does anyone ask what these Welfare Queens from the MIC who live off the tax payers, spend THEIR money on? Are we concerned that they are buying the 'right food'?
Focusing on such trivia is exactly what they want us to do.
