  1. Please look up Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), because it explains why your taxes don't fund spending programs at the Federal level. Those of us who understand it want to get the rest of us to learn it also, because it is a tool that helps you to see through the lies that our politicians are telling us. You can find it on The Rogue Scholar, MMT Mondays, Macro'n'Cheese, or Real Progressives on YouTube. Stephanie Kelton also has several great videos on YouTube about it.

  3. ​ @celiacresswell6909 They don't take the cash from your wallet. They create new money every time Congress passes an appropriations bill. Since the US Constitution gives Congress the only right to create the currency, they also have the right to say where the money will be spent. You can learn all about this at The Rogue Scholar, MMT Mondays, Macro'n'Cheese, or Real Progressives on YouTube. Stephanie Kelton also has several great videos on YouTube about it.
