      It’s not like I get to choose what is spent on, and yeah a shitload of it goes towards child murder. More of my money is spent hurting people than helping them.

        If it makes you feel better, that’s not true. More discretionary spending is on “defense.” But roughly 2/3 of the full budget is mandatory spending which largely is social security, Medicare, medicaid, TANF, and SNAP and also includes education and transportation as smaller pieces.
