Just like you said people trying to push a narrative. Yeah funding things like healthcare, education and helping our citizens is a wonderful idea, I mean who would be against that.
People are quick to forget that a lot of people hate America and will irrationally go out of their way to attack us and other countries that stand for freedom. The United States spends a lot of money protecting not only our country but other countries.
Yes we could probably spend less to do so, but running a government isn't easy and no one is perfect. Too many people want to live in an idealistic society that can't happen and if it does won't be for a long time.
People please move away from the two sided black and white, us vs them, this or that kind of thinking. It's what got us to this point.
