I believe we need to support Ukraine to keep Russia from continuing attacks across borders. But we need to fund education, helping homeless & poor, healthcare for all, keep promise of soc sec. Our taxes fund govt. It is our money. Help citizens instead of corporations

Harm reduction. Remember? 🖕

This is for discretionary spending only. Now do the rest of the budget. 63% of the total budget is for healthcare, Social security and other programs. You are detailing only 37% of the total budget, so about 24% is military etc.

Law enforcement was a relative small slice. The bulk went to feed the military industrial complex that Ike (the last great Republican President) warned about.
