    American spends the majority of its money on its worldwide spanning military … the largest military in the world … yet they never want to cut its funding

    And they wonder why their government never has enough money to spend on its own people

    It’s like being a 400lb blob and telling everyone you’re really going to lose some weight - so you do absolutely nothing about your diet and instead start clipping your fingernails and cutting your hair to decrease your weight.

      That’s not true:

      The US spends more on healthcare, education and social security, and Elon “Sieg Heil” Musk sure is going after those.

      It’s not that he’s failing to cut spending: firing federal employees right and left and destroying federal agencies WILL yield savings. What’s not taken into account here is that it will also yield a disaster.

      In other words, he’s curing the patient by killing the patient. But technically, he’s curing the patient I guess.
