    75% of our tax dollars, from the most affluent tax base in the world, cover:
    -- the military
    -- expensive healthcare for about 1/3 of our citizens
    -- interest on the debt

    That's it.

    Good night nurse. I'm embarrassed to be this surprised. :eek: I just can't get over it. This has to come up every flipping time somebody talks about wasteful federal spending.

    That's the thing. The high interest on the debt is the biggest waste of all. We get nothing in return for that.
