There is is, right there. Let's not forget, the Pentagon cannot account for $21T worth of spending between 1998 and 2015. That's why the US cannot join the 21st century in healthcare and education to remain globally competitive. But then again, capital has no national ties. That shit is for the unsubstantial people.

Yabadabadoo.
Forget the social issues that never allowed citizens to vote on.
The purpose of the federal government is provide a strong military, protect the lives of citizens and keep our roads in good shape.
That's it.
What makes you think that? Be specific, please.
Reagan got his giant upper-class tax cut and his obscene increases in military spending, his ghastly war on drug users, his Star Wars boondoggle, etc.
Can I expect you to chime in with that sentiment the next time a conservative here applauds the Trump-era economic growth? hehehaahahaaa! Just kidding. We know you aren't going to do that. This principle of waiting until the end of a term before inferring some conclusions is a principle-of-convenience, to be tossed aside as needed, right?
As a patriot, I'd disagree. I think there are a number of purposes, including establishing justice, insuring domestic tranquility, and promoting the general welfare.
Yep..... and your tacit admission of your error is noted. Next time, rather than assuming you understand what someone is saying, given your low IQ and shockingly poor reading comprehension, maybe just ask, and it can be summed up in simpler words for you.
What makes you think they do? Buy a history book snowflake.
Wow; nothing but a bunch of buffoonish strawmen; you are quite dull of buffoon aren't you snowflake?
Why? He shouldn't get credit for things that are happening on his watch? But you want to bloviate about government spending like a dunce before he has had a full term?
I thought we were talking about reigning in government spending? By the way, you know who got us to the massive Government welfare state we are under now? Starts with an R, ends with a T.
How are you a patriot? What does being a patriot have to do with the Constitutional limitations on the Federal Government Democrats ignore?
How does the Federal Government "establish" justice? What kind of "justice" are you bloviating about?
You won't find that one in the Constitution snowflake. Dumb.
That clause doesn't mean welfare state and turning citizens into dependent wards of the State snowflake.
You do realize he crapped all over your child like analysis right?
No, I didn't.
Put down the crack pipe.
Ironic; a low IQ leftist moron thinking that others are having the problems with comprehension. Yet, here you are trolling your own dumb thread over your dumb premise. Ironic isn't it snowflake?
Good for you. I was breaking it down to common sense actual duties.
Yes you did; the willful idiot was trying to falsely paint the GOP as BIG Government spenders and you stated BIG Government spending is exactly what liberals want. I do wish you had a brain too snowflake.
Vetoes. Now you answer.
You mean like the big jump in spending? Yes, I think he should get credit for that. But there was a dunce on this thread earlier who suggested we not infer anything until after his term ended.
You misunderstood. Try rereading.
That's what I was doing. The reason we formed this government in the first place is to do the things I laid out. A strong military, by comparison, isn't so much one of the government's purposes, but rather just one means to achieve a purpose (the purpose is the common defense, which can also be achieved through strong treaties and alliances, and using soft power to defuse threats before they even become a matter for the military).
ridiculous.
See how far that goes in the South China Sea with a belligerent China that doesn't respect international boundaries.
We have security agreements with the littoral states, but the reason China hasn't just glomed up all their so called
"9 dash line" is because we push back on their territorial claims, and run ships close to dredge islands
Soft power is fine for what it is -influence -but if it's not backed up by hard power it collapses
Many of us have complained that both parties favor big government and excessive spending and don't understand why Democrats whine about spending cuts.
A more realistic chart would show only discretionary spending since about 70% of the budget is mandatory beyond the president's control. It probably wouldn't change the results much.
Citizens never voted on any issues at the federal level and there is no provision to do so.
