like trillion dollar bank bailouts, subsidies awarded through ruinous competition among jurisdictions, trillions and trillions of dollars of defense spending for which the government will invent endless wars.. like that?

If you like, you can look at the data[0] I'm looking at. 15% on defence; 67% on health and related; education; social security; etc.
