Where Your Tax Dollars ACTUALLY Go (It's Not What You Think) | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a comprehensive breakdown of the U.S. federal budget from the National Priorities Project, highlighting the staggering reality that 54% of discretionary spending goes directly to the military-industrial complex. Graham compares U.S. military spending to the next seven largest global militaries combined, contrasts the massive funding for endless wars with crumbs allocated to education, infrastructure, healthcare, and welfare programmes, and argues why redirecting these funds is essential for rebuilding American society.
