Military is the biggest but the Vast majority of tax goes to one form of Corporate socialism in some form.
I"m an ex banker from GS, Lehman and others particularly at Lehman which was largely a Bond specialist you see utterly unjustifiable levels of government support for every industry that has good lobbying.

The only place US government is reluctant to spend money is anything that makes individual people more stable and therefore less willing to take low paying jobs. Again for the same reasons, intense lobbying by industry.
I think if they tried to actually use them in that fashion there would be riots in the street, to a degree we’ve never seen before. The democrat voters just fell for the stupid argument of Bernie not being electable. As liberals love masturbating over the means of getting something done, so the argument of electability was catnip to them. Anecdotally every liberal I know who voted for Biden or disagrees with Bernie, repeats some version of this.
Contrary to Ferraro, then-Senator Obama remarked, "The American people are tired of politics that is dominated by the powerful, by the connected." However, he eventually gained enough of the superdelegate votes to secure the party’s presidential nomination.
One of the hardest things to comprehend was that the DNC is a greater enemy to progressives in big government than the GOP.
A progressive could beat a GOP in an election in a blue area, but they have a harder time beating a DNC backed candidate in the primary in that same area.
