Of that 55% of your income 53% of it goes to entitlements, the remaining 47% goes to defense and other Constitutional (likely, maybe?) requirements.
I think 20% goes to debt service, 40% goes to bloated pensions and OPEB.
one needs to account for all govt extractions - federal, state, county, and local; plus a zillion other agencies. look at the fine print of a airline ticket - you get charged a few hundred just to be molested by security theater.
add in sales & property taxes ; dont forget to pay for your garage sale permit too.
If people added up how much the govt extorts from them, theyd be appalled.
