No argument with that, but I do have trust issues with the way it is spent. I think we spend too much on things that do not improve productivity, and grow our GDP. Entitlements come to mind of course. We have the strongest military on earth, and even if we weren't #1, I don't see #5 fighting off invaders. Our defense budget is at the wasteful level. I have 34yrs experience in government service so I won't even entertain a counter argument on this matter. 
We just gave corps a huge tax break (there, I'm back on topic lol). They bought back many billions of dollars in shares. Well good for us, but not so sure that enhanced the country so much. Yes it did create some jobs. That is inarguable. OK I'm rambling now.
