You could say that, but it’s funded pretty directly through the payroll tax, and the tax receipts only pay for interest & basic tithing to the military-industrial complex. Moreover, it’s been pretty well demonstrated over the past few decades that higher tax receipts go, the more federal government deficit spends. One famous study found that for every additional $1 received by the Feds, they will spend an additional $1.52. I suspect that number’s gotten worse the proceeding years.
