American spends the majority of its money on its worldwide spanning military .. the largest military in the world .. yet they never want to cut its funding
And they wonder why their government never has enough money to spend on its own people
It's like being a 400lb blob and telling everyone you're really going to lose some weight - so you do absolutely nothing about your diet and instead start clipping your fingernails and cutting your hair to decrease your weight.

  That's not true:
  Controversial pie chart removed until I review what's what. I have no time right now, I'm at work, but just in case it's BS I'll pull it
  ~~The US spends more on healthcare, education and social security, and Elon "Sieg Heil" Musk sure is going after those.~~ or not....
  It's not that he's failing to cut spending: firing federal employees right and left and destroying federal agencies WILL yield savings. What's not taken into account here is that it will also yield a disaster.
  In other words, he's curing the patient by killing the patient. But technically, he's curing the patient I guess.
  
  Do you have a source for that pie chart? It doesn’t remotely represent the spending on the congressional budget website. Maybe the creator mislabeled all discretionary spending solely as education?

  It's from the Wikipedia page on the US government spending.
  
  Yikes! Yeah, that’s disinformation. It needs to be taken down.
  That pie chart is sourced from a commercial (.com) site that claims it obtained its data from another .com site, and does not remotely represent the information on the congressional budgetary government (.gov) website. It falsely claims $1.7T spending on education, which is the entire annual discretionary budget. The only way that could be possible is if the US spent no money on defense for a year.
  
  That graphic is not in line with... All of the other information I've ever seen in my life.
