This is about the only relative added point. Money moves all over government all the time, for everything it is how it works, and it doesn't matter who the govt is or what style of govt it is. Its services are it bills, and it pays those bills like 90% of people do, all at once or they pay half of two bills now and half later.
Back to the quoted point. This applies to everything. Prisons for example it costs nearly 70,000 a year to house a convict. Those people are cut from society yet society supports them. The majority of criminals are there drug related. How well it the War on drugs going? how much money has been dumped into something that has only gotten worse.
Its a free country people should be able to choose to do what they want. Begin legalizing drugs, starting with low class ones like Marijuana, Mushrooms etc
I know what you are trying to do, and that is single out things like medicare. Thats fine and all, but if they do get rid of that, I hope you break your body, so your insurance company dumps you, or charges you an outrageous amount after. So you know how tough some people have affording medical costs, a home, vehicles, etc.
Also look at Canada, tax paid ("free") Health Care, for every citizen in the country. Its economy is cruising along fine. (and the CDN govt spends less on health care per person/year then the US govt does as well due to hospitals being publicly controlled).
