Govt budgets are at all time highs across the board. When the govt/media tells you "budgets are being reduced" what they mean is that someone is trying to reduce the amount that the budget is going to increase next year. But it still almost always grows.

Govt spending under each president for the last 20+ years has been higher than all 40+ adminstrations before them combined.

What makes govt services total shit is the fact that they get your money whether they serve you or not. The govt doesn't give a flying fuck what you want. They get paid no matter what. And they'll use your money to manufacture a virus that allows them to declare an emergency, shut down your business, force a muzzle on your face, & force poison in your arm if it serves their interests.
