What the shit is this

The total budget is $7.2 trillion, "defense" spending is $850 billion (the summary's on page 136). Unless I'm missing something both of the numbers in the meme appear to be just made up. Here's an infographic that's a couple years out of date but a lot easier to make sense of.

The US spends an absolutely insane amount on its military, but it also spends an insane amount on lots of other stuff. The really obscene thing that's making it hard to fund needed programs is (1) corrupt congresspeople simply deciding not to fund them and (2) simply not taxing people who are making millions or billions of dollars (see also #1).

tl;dr: The numbers in this meme are way off.

The total proposed budget is around $7T. If we assume the numbers in the meme are just discretionary spending, and not mandatory spending on things like medicare and social security, then the total in the meme is off by less than a trillion, but the mix of discretionary spending between defense and non-defense spending is pretty close to a 50-50 split, unlike this meme depicts.

Here’s a link to the proposed budget so you can see for yourself if you’re interested.

What the hell is happening in this photo How is there an eclipse of the moon and the sun happening..... if they're on the moon....

Faulty metaphor because the Moon isn't bigger, it's just closer... The meme just doesn't work.
