1. Love it! ... but actually, military spending is about $2,400 per adult in the U.S.

600 billion dollars
250 million adults

3. I'm not sure where they got that figure.

The others are based on this article from Time, I believe:

7. Except that in 2015

my wife and I paid under under $4800 in federal taxes. Given our gross income, that's a bit smaller than expected, but "in range" for the income range we're in and higher than in some previous years.

Averages are fine, but without standard deviations and at times skewness they're pretty lame. It's like nothing that those in the bottom 20% of households paid -600 dollars on average; some, of course, still paid a positive amount.

9. True... some will pay more, some will pay less and some will not pay at all.

I should have pointed out that the numbers/calculations reflect the cost per American, as described in the Time article that I cited above.

5. And all the secret service money for Dolt45's golf games.

These cuts are so idiotic.

They are all punitive and ignorant and serve no purpose whatsoever other than to thumb the suspenders and say, "I'm stickin' it to those elite liberals."

6. Great gif by the way. Kicking it again. Hope it goes viral.

10. I found it through a Joan Osborne retweet.

* Just an FYI, both were based on a Time article that was printed before the official Budget proposal.
