    Sure, take your pick. I like the school comparison because it’s easier to visualize. But you’re right, spending at the federal level would be more distributed across all programs.

      There is so much money that I believe all things could be done. But in a very real way this money is an illusion. Never meant to be gathered for, or spent on anything, except a few citizens.

      If for some reason the defense industry was shut down today, there would be a new scam tomorrow to replace it; except maybe at a lower level of spending .
