What makes me laugh is conservatives in backwoods America arguing over transgnerism, immigrants, CRT and “woke culture” when in reality it’s like bro: Nobody is migrating to Cornfield, USA to setup a drag club next to your barn. 
It’s all fear of something they’ve never interacted with once. >

This is my aunt and uncle. So dumb and irrelevant that they need to pretend they have a brain and matter. They don’t they’re draining the system. >

This is one of the reasons I feel so blessed to live in New York City. The amount of different languages and cultures I see and hear every day is very awesome to watch >

The article is spot on.
One comment it makes is wrong though.

There are two kinds of government spending — public works and social welfare.

It misses the main purpose of government spending, the military spending which is 70% of government spending of US income tax which is the Discretionary Budget. The rest of the budget is SS/Medicare, but those are self funded via there own payroll taxes which are not considered income tax since the employer pays half and their only purpose is SS/Medicare.  SS/Medicare have not contributed to US national debt and currently have a $1T surplus.
Above we see in FY22 budget direct military spending is 49% of the budget but it is also 30% of the non-military for CIA, NSA, VA, parts of NASA, Dept o Energy, Homeland Security etc.
Just taking direct military budget of $753B, Russia spends $100B and China $250B. US spends TWICE that of Russia and China COMBINED.  That is on top of EU NATO spending which is $250B vs. Russia's $100B and Korea and Japan in Asia $100B plus Taiwan's $20B.
Offensive military capability needs to be 5:1 vs. defense to have a chance of success.  Russia at $100B vs. Ukraine's pre-war of $6B for example.  So EU and Japan/Korea have adequate defense spending to deter Chinese aggression.  The lesson of Ukraine vs. Russia gives China pause on any attack on Taiwan made much harder by it being an island.
A reasonable US military spending for actual defense would be equal to Russia and China $350B.
If GOP is really interested in spending cuts, it would be a $350B cut to Pentagon budget. VA budget is $350B and that can be eliminated and VA eliminated and veterans given Medicare with no payroll tax deduction for a cost of $100B.
Government spending cut on military would total $500B.
Will the Jim Crow/MAGA GOP go there?
