Let's be honest; the severely mentally ill is their base, they can't vote if they are locked up in psych wards.

I think most of that money goes to MN because for some fucking reason they think it's awesome to bring over tons of people from places like Somalia and give them tons of free stuff as most of them act like complete pieces of shit to the rest of the residents in this state.
I agree with both parties neglecting the mentally ill, but that’s about where it ends for me.
A public safety net is a luxury for a wealthy nation and generally a false sense of security for any individual to rely upon. It keeps more people dependent and poor than it does actually improve their quality of life. It’s not ultimately the job of the federal government to take care of the poor & hungry. I think that burden is better placed on state and local governments & even better charitable organizations. I’m not necessarily saying it’s something we should get rid of entirely at the federal level, but limited & definitely not expanded.
National defense on the other hand is a primary function of the federal government and one of the few intended reasons to have a federal government in the first place. We do have issues with corruption, wasteful spending, war mongering, etc. in this area, but significantly reducing our defense budget is not the answer. I’d rather see reform and that defense money to be more appropriately allocated to protecting our national interests.
I love how upset you get when anyone mentions taking away your ability to send young men, from poor families, off to die, in illegal wars, in your stead.
I especially enjoy how you just make shit up about people the moment they don't march to your goose step.
Shouldn't you be off fighting Russians for the Ukraine? You were super hyped about sending other people to do it for you.
If you don't believe that the general welfare of the taxpayer isn't a matter of national defense, you're ignoring history. The same history that makes you keep the 2nd amendment so close to your heart.
History goes even further to show that a military will be used against it's own people, especially a people that have missed meals to pay for a military.
3/5ths of the Federal budget to entitlement programs. 1/6th to defense spending. The average middle class pays about 48% of income to taxes over all. (add them all up morons, not just income tax)
So who is missing meals for what?
One things for certain, you've never seen an illegal war your not willing to send poor people to die in, in your stead.
"Fuck poor people, unless I need you to go fight in a war I voted for." ~ The Neo-con way
I absolutely enjoy watching neo-cons lose their shit when their "War for profit" scheme, gets wrecked.

"Bernie Sanders urges the Biden administration to fine airlines $27,500 fine per passenger for worsening flight delays"
All the Left knows how to do... I mean what oh what could they do... other than take their money. Fines and more fines.. I'm sure that will help. I'm sure this all stemmed from him not getting a flight home, and since it now affects his daily routine, it's priority number 1.
