Forced Redistribution Majority of Federal Spending, Deficit

As you listen to commentators talking about “excessive” military spending and the federal budget deficit, this is your friendly periodic reminder that all U. S. military spending amounts to only 16% of federal spending, while forced redistribution represents 59% of federal spending.  In dollar terms, forced redistribution is now the majority of what the federal government does; the federal government is literally a huge forced-redistribution operation with a smaller national-defense side project.

Don’t take my word for it; these numbers are according to the CBPP, which even the left agrees is of the left.
