Not only is it pretty common for a democracy to be pretty open about how they spend their tax budget, it’s really common for these figures to be discussed when attacking America 🙄
I mean, we spend more on defense than the next several nations combined and we haven’t won a war in 80 years.
We spend more on healthcare than every other nation and it’s still the most expensive healthcare system in the world.
We spend hundreds of billions on a welfare system that forces people on it to keep working until the day they die.
We throw out billions in kickbacks and “incentives” to billion dollar companies.
I could go on with the numerous, seemingly never ending problems with the US, but the point is that our system is indeed bad and dumb. Nothing we have works, and all of it is extremely over funded and under delivering. At this point, tearing it all up and starting again seems like the easier way to fix things, and getting to that point is never good
So the comment you’re replying to was pretty much completely incorrect. Wonder if they’ll revise their statement

Of course not, because it’s much easier to just go “haha America dumb and bad”
Can’t let the facts get in the way of that.
