    The vast majority of the pool is given to the military, who haven’t even successfully completed an audit, let alone passed one, in God knows how long.

    Don’t insult everyone’s intelligence pretending you know how that money is being spent; none of us do.

      Some of the mandatory budget and discretionary non-defense budget can be directly or indirectly linked to military purposes, but regardless, the majority of the budget is social programs.

      i have some idea. do I know where every cent goes? no. the government, most governments, are these giant ponderous masses of interwoven bureaucracy, striving to complete many diverse goals. the various goals are often at odds with each other.

      it’s the real downside of democratic governance.
