>People really struggle with big numbers. how about $750,000,000,000.00 in two years? Is that a number that's in the right magnitude to complain about? >15 million for the government isn't a lot of money. and even for most big businesses it isn't a lot of money. how about $750,000,000,000.00 over two years? is that a lot of money? > The government spends trillions every year. And in that trillions, is thousands and thousands of $15,000,000 spends like the one i commented about. > 15 million divided by the ~150million taxpayers in the US is ten cents per person. Do you pick up dimes off the street? $750,000,000,000.00 / 150,000,000 = $5000 per taxpayer. Do you pick up sacks with "$" on the side you find laying in the street? as i mentioned elsewhere, my issue is my having to spend a dime to harass the CCP and other antagonistic governments. How many thousands of my dimes are going to ends that i am fundamentally against?

  Reread the thread I responded to. Your going off the rails. I was never commenting about this unrelated 750 billion dollar number you pulled up. So I have no idea what your talking about and you seemed riled up and just want to argue about something? If your so desperate for a comment from me, I wouldn't take that 750billion value as fact without seeing the methodology behind determining it, since we have already seen things like approved spending be labeled fraud and other misinformation. Your bringing up unrelated topics, that's not how to have a discussion. That's just rambling.

This relates it. you said: >I wouldn't take that 750billion value as fact It's from the 118th congress. If you're going to say that congress can't determine waste, and GAO can't determine waste, and DOGE can't determine waste, or whatever - harp on methodologies - should i take that as "it's impossible to determine what money is going where, and therefore, one shouldn't worry about 15 million taxpayer dollars, or 750 billion in taxpayer dollars" The fact the federal government hasn't been completely audited in a couple decades bothers me. Apparently, i can't complain about any government spending, because I > really struggle with large numbers
