It's 23% of GDP, not 37%. [0]
Anyone who says "we need to cull the feds" doesn't understand what we actually spend money on.
25% of our spending is Social Security, and 20% is the military. That's 45% right there.
Old people vote. Social Security is going nowhere. You literally can't cut the budget by 75%.
