    that failure of the federal government has nothing to do with what i was talking about.

    on a local level the local taxes we all pay are directly in the budget for that spending. we literally vote on 0.025% property tax increases to pay for specific local projects.

    “taxes do not fund government spending” is literally false for entities that don’t control the currency or those resources.
