lets actually address the whole problem here, since it seems like various details are being thrown about. so lets put them together into some logical state.
the government collects taxes from its citizens, which becomes the national budget. the government is then meant to use that money to provide services for the country - fixing roads, social services, education, military, etc. and people have a problem with the way the US government spends the collected money because the vast majority of it, and the percentage is rising, is going towards military and funding wars that we really dont need to be fighting. meanwhile the American educational system is going down the toilet, the cost of healthcare is so expensive that nobody can afford it (and if you think for a second that medical expenses need to be that high, youre wrong, the amount people are charged for medication exceeds the production value by at least 10 fold, but thats a separate issue), and every time people simply ask the government to give a shit about the country for more than two seconds their only response is "we cant afford it". we absolutely CAN afford it. we have the money, it just needs to be spent on anything other than the military.
