I love it when people bitch about welfare spending

...

yes but a military can drop a bomb, all welfare can do is drop an anchor baby

Welfare does nothing but stimulate the creation of societal undesirables

Wow, military spending is 50% of 25% of the federal budget. Brilliant post, OP, you really gave us all something to think about. BTW, military spending is the only constitutionally authorized line in the entire budget....

I'll just leave this hear for you all

You're on a board with a healthy amount of people who subscribe to anti-interventionism and reducing military spending accordingly you brainlet.

Well we could always shut down the UN and NATO and stop having to pay to defend half the fucking planet's third world shitholes when the other member nations decide they dont want to pay their share of the defense costs. Then again when Trump decided to push that issue you guys bitched about it. You only want to cut military spending when it suits your fucking agenda.

Me too

This

S&S and medica are given back directly to the taxpayer that paid for them. That is why people don't look at it the same as other spending.

Liar, you could only get that if you lumped in self-funding programs.

This, we need to cut welfare and SS (as well as medicare.) It's literally keeping us from paying off our debt.

that isn't how it works. your money doesn't go in to some personal fund for your later use, it is given to those currently collecting

>self-funding
>on track to run out of money in 2037

So you want to keep getting taxed SS & medicare while getting none of the benefits?

Yeah but you only collect based on what you paid in.

Ba da bum

>So you want to keep getting taxed SS & medicare while getting none of the benefits?

Not at all, we need to cut the fat from the system. Create a "workfare" instead of a welfare, while revamping our SS system as well (along with a slew of other government "benefits".)

While that's strictly true, the rates are shifted in favor of those on the lower end of the spectrum. And whatever the details, the OP graph is still extremely misleading about what our money gets spent on.

>discretionary
Nice sharpshooting faggot

>Yeah but you only collect based on what you paid in.

Thank you for not being a gaping anus like OP

The Left doesn't meme good.
They don't satire both.

This is another fallacious left wing non argument implying welfare programs are only a tiny part of the budget and that the military budget is too large. However, when you look at total spending, you realize that social security and medicare are the largest spending items in the budget, and yes, those are welfare programs, as the majority of recipients receive more than they payed into it. About half of the military budget is also welfare for countries who are able to spend huge portions of their GDP on welfare programs because they hardly spend anything on their military. Of course, when Trump talks about getting rid of NATO, which would allow us to shrink our military budget, the commie dems immediately begin screeching about muh Russia.

Agreed, and adding that every slice in that pie chart is welfare used to prop up otherwise unnecessary industries. Even (((interest on debt))) is wealth redistribution used to fortify the Chinese economy.
