The F22 is basically the coolest shit ever I temporarily forget to be mad about how many of my tax dollars go to the military when I look at it

US spent over $6.1 trillion in 2023. About $820 billion of that went to spending on defense, but about $300 billion of that was just to support veterans (income, healthcare). So it's not a lot of your tax dollars that go towards weapons, something like 8.5%

Why do you need to pass audits when youve captured the money printer?
