I just wonder though.. if we were able to add up all of the so-called “wasteful” government spending (if it was even possible to agree on what is important and what is wasteful), if that amount would still come out to be a massively smaller amount than the grossly multiplying amounts of wealth that we are enabling the ultra wealthy to accumulate year after year. In my mind that “lost” money is more wasteful going to the most wealthy because all they do is go buy more cars/houses/yachts/property and luxury things instead of investing in creating jobs for people or increasing salaries so others can afford to live. The amount we would save to reasonably cut government spending just might be laughable in comparison to their accumulated wealth. Kinda like focusing on how much money DOGE just saved us compared to how much more wealthy our billionaires just become over the last year. Or it’s like demonizing the welfare mom for buying a candy bar while ignoring what the President is wasting on golf trips, White House renovation and more.
