And I notice you're only countering the last point - not the one about how complaining that we can't touch entitlement programs is EXACTLY how we're in the financial quagmire we're in right now.

$1.3 trillion omnibus spending package for fiscal 2018, including nearly $700 billion for the military and $591 billion for non-defense funding.

tfw the defense budget makes up the majority of our government spending in an entire fiscal year,
can't believe those entitlement programs are sucking us dry ;_;

if only we could find a way to pay for them.

The spending bill only address discretionary spending which is about a third of the overall budget which includes mandatory spending (mainly entitlements) and interest payments.
