Incorrect. Almost two thirds of the US federal budget goes to Social Security and healthcare (medicare, obamacare, medicaid). In other words: the bread part of bread and circuses. Almost another third goes to the military (keeping bases throughout the world, funding next gen R&D, and keeping those nukes ready costs a lot of money). A small fraction is used to actually fund government stuff-- bureaucrat salaries, roads, studies for what endangered super special musk rat will be impacted by some bridge to no
I can't tell if you're trolling or not. This entire endeavor was about $50-60 million, about half of which was directly funded by the NSF (tax money). By comparison, just one F-35 fighter jet is about $100 million.
