It's not the spending itself that's the problem. It's the the waste in each program. The middle men and NGO's that are hovering up free money from the tax payers that is the problem.

All these programs are treated like cookie jars and everyone gets a nibble.

Do you have any proof of this assertion? Most government agencies outside of the military have passed financial audits. People who have worked as auditors in the public and private sectors generally report more waste and fraud in the private sector by far.
No, it's the spending. I'm sick of looking at our "allies" having the social programs our "leaders" tell us we can't have while we subsidize their countries
