not to mention the massive $1.4 trillion spending bill that was passed with very little discussion.  THAT is specifically why people elected Trump/an outsider.  They want this shit to stop.  We have to pay taxes at threat of prison, but the money is spent in the most haphazard, unsupervised, unnecessary ways.  It's insane.  The people paying those taxes can certainly spend that money more efficiently than what's being done.
