I posted this earlier today in the tech lemmy instance, but, they have no sense of humor and deleted it. I’m trying here.

    To be fair, of the 44B, they’d use 30b to blow up children’s hospitals, give 13b to some rich fucks, 800m would disappear and the rest would fund something nice

      Have you ever looked at US federal spending? 27% goes to healthcare, 21% goes to social security, 13% to income security, 13% to defense, then the rest is split between education, veterans benefits, transportation, and regional development/other.

      I know people like to meme the government spending, but the majority goes to healthcare, elder care, and veterans.

        I can’t wait until Snowden resurfaces and shows us how much of that 27% healthcare actually goes to healthcare and how much is skimmed to line people’s pockets.

          The US healthcare industry massively over charges for everything, so they are skimming in plain sight.

          Doesn’t change that only 13% goes to the DoD, where a fraction may be used to blow up hospitals. Not 66% as the previous poster implied.
