> In 2020, the government of the USA spent 30% of GDP. Interesting that you specifically chose a covid year. In 2024 spending was 23%. The 50 year average of spending a percentage of GDP is 21%.[1] Yet again, anyone who believes that we have some crazy out of line spending right now is in a media/propaganda echo chamber. And if anyone believes that hacking apart our country under the guise of "cutting spending" again is falling for the same playbook. What is being done is not at all driven by cutting spending, that's just the justification bring put forward - any amount of looking into what's being done, vs what's is claimed is being done makes that obvious. The echo chamber that had been created is out of control at this pointas somehow a significant number of people believe what is being said.
