200bn is about one-third of everything the Federal Gov spent since October. Insane to make that kind of honey pot.
When people tell me they care about the marginalized and that's why we need to government to take care of them I need to remember this stat.
Its bad enough that the state steals from us and does things with the money we don't approve of. But its worse. When they do try to do good things they piss much of it away and allow smart grifters to game the system as well!
