Two things were the main recipient of all this spending:
- Defence Industry/Wars. Everyone who works for it or the military or contractors or companies that rely on them (a sizeable % of the American people). If the US had a balanced budget they couldn't afford all of the contractors to exist.
- Bank bailout. Which is imaginary money since the government severely overpaid to 'own' the banks it saved.
