"We . . . who? I don't know that. No source I can find knows that. Did I catch you making things up yet again? While you're correct that the "true" rate can probably never be calculated, if you actually believe it's anywhere close to that 10% figure, you're even more naive than I thought, which is hard to imagine.
Tang doesnt get basic math.
Gov't earns $100.
Gov't spends $120
Gov't is $20 in the red.
Military costs $16. Entitlement cost $66.
Tang says cut military!!!!!
Tang cannot do basic math. Arguing with him is insanity.
Your proportions are off.
More like the government spends $1,000 in 2017.
Broken down:
$210 defense
$250 disability and social security (along with a bunch of other stuff - black lung disability trust fund, disabled miners, rail worker pensions, etc.)
$280 health care (mostly medicare and medicaid but also other public health services)
$90 welfare (unemployment, food stamps, other safety nets)
$70 interest on debt
$40 education
$60 other stuff (infrastructure, transportation, federal police forces, court systems, etc)
While spending $1000, the government takes in $830 in 2017. And then it decides in 2018 it's going to reduce the amount it takes in to $750 because rich people need more money.
So you'll have to excuse me when I completely ignore any feigned concern for the deficit.
No. Entitlements are 66% and military is 16%. The # of people on welfare nearly doubled under BHO. It was not for rich people as poor people got breaks too and it was for corporations to halt inversions. Actually wait. I said on these boards I would only mock you as you re an A HOLE.
So...F*CK off you loser.
Um, no, that's not correct.
Maybe you're looking at a different year, but federal outlays in 2017 were $3.9 trillion. Total defense outlays were $819.2 billion. That's 20.97%. Or 21% if you round up.
That's actual spending. Not the base budget or a projected figure.
You kind of look like an idiot calling other people names and being wrong all the time.
F*CK OFF.
Jesus, maybe shoot alexjonesbukakisbenshapiro.com an email and let them know their numbers are out of date. The CBO rounds the outlays up to an even $4 trillion. Every other place lists actual outlays at $3.9 trillion.
Budget request for FY2018. On March 16, 2017 President Trump submitted his request to Congress for $639 billion in military spending—$54 billion—which represents a 10 percent increase—for FY 2018 as well as $30 billion for FY2017 which ends in September.
Where did your $800Bn+ Number come from?
So we're just going to ignore the fact that your chart was completely wrong? OK.
You're forgetting the cost of wars, referred to in the budget as OCO.
DOD base budget actual spending in 2017 was $523.2B. Then you have the almost $200B OCO, defense spending totals $818B.
For 2018, the enacted budget has a base of $574.5B plus OCO of another $200B, totalling $874.4B
