This is one of the great failures of our education system. This is not rocket science. A simple pie chart is all that is needed to show where the money goes. That along with a pie chart showing where the money comes from and how the sources change over time should be part of every civics course. Our electorate is not stupid. They are ignorant and that is one of the reasons why they are easily misled by politicians and by the nonsense that floats around the internet.
