Welfare is in your mind.
I have no reason to help Ukraine. If the USA has billions to throw around, then throw it back to the taxpayers that gave it to them.
It isn’t rocket science.
Health care, education, welfare, those are enormous categories, yes.
I estimate @5.5% of GDP (1,400 Billion) is being wasted (not spent, that is 18.2% of GDP) on healthcare alone. The whole DOD is just 3.5% of GDP. Spending on the Ukraine war is 0.33% of GDP.
You should be swarming public officials and the courts to cut regulations that inflate medical costs. If the Germans, French, Swedes and Japanese can do it, you can too. All you need to do is hang a few thousand villains.
