Any time the government spends money, regardless on what it's for, where it's going, or how much they spend it's considered "wasting" the money.

Except when they are doing something that benefits you specifically.
"you" in this case not refering to "you" Prismatic but "you" as in "everybody".

you want my opinion.
that the empire building the US is trying to sustain is unsustainable.
we protect the world and what does the world give us in return for service rendered?
we ask for squat because we are the good guys.
there is no justification for maintaining 50,000 troop in Germany still.
Afghanistan is a lost cause give it up and pull everyone out, we got the target we where after.

I think most of it is a "waste" in that it wasn't a bad idea, but we overpaid an incredible a lot from it
Bid shilling in the government has become common practice. It is a corrupt system that politics and power matter more than spending the tax payer's money efficiently
A lot of politicians literally are stealing from us for signing onto these over inflated government contracts to help out their corporate buddies who financed their campaigns and etc.

A beer landed right on my nuts yesterday when I was at the driving range stinging the crap out of my pants. I knocked it off with my club after panicking for like 5 whole seconds and ghosted the MF'er

It's very difficult to understand the costs involved in large scale government projects. So combined with the stereotypical viewpoint that the government is insanely inefficient and oversized, all spending looks inefficient.
