Here is the scale of the difference in the effect of financial irresponsibility on the national debt.
Cost of the War on Terror, 2001-2019:
$2.4 trillion [1]
Cost of Medicare+caid+SS, 2001-2019, only the portion
not paid-as-you-go by payroll taxes:
$14.7 trillion [1] [2]
I won't even get into the price tag on the 2009 pork bailout. A modern Gordian Knot. I'm neither fond of nor strongly opposed to the existence of the fed, but the long term effects on banking caused by our overpriced safety net are pretty much incalculable. If you want to deposit money in a bank, your terrible interest rate is due to the fact that you're competing with the fed, a powerful wholesale lender. If you want a loan, your terrible interest rate is due to the fact that you're competing with the Treasury, a powerful wholesale borrower. This two-way relationship is welfare for banks. Guess which party employs bankers to run its social program initiatives.
The regular military budget represents 20 percent of expenditures and is explicitly constitutional. The social outlays above represent 60 percent of expenditures and are not constitutional.
"Promote the general welfare" - The content of the preamble is delineated in the articles; items comprising 60 percent of expenses which literally created the need for the federal income tax, you'd think these should be mentioned somewhere. I'm not saying these things should be repealed outright. They are entrenched, and people have grown dependent on them. That's the Democrats' fault. They buy their votes with this garbage and we're stuck in it. Change would only bring chaos.
You either didn't read or didn't comprehend the post correctly. It says both.
