    Why invest in infrastructure when we can give that money to billionaires?

    I’m not a small government type, but god am I tired of taxpayer dollars going to big oil, animal ag, banks and arms dealers that are literally trying to speed run the end of humankind.

      It’d seem to me that the problem isn’t with the size of the government but the sort of people elected to run it.

        Yeah, I fully agree.

        Perhaps it goes without saying, but I just didn’t want to come across as a an-cap or something by complaining about government spending when my issue isn’t that we’re spending taxpayer money, but what we’re spending it on.
