I'm not a fan of counting medicare or social security in "all taxes collected".

They're collected separately (and they're also really badly designed, but whatever).

So I rather us look at the amount we're spending on stuff that doesn't get a different line item on our paychecks.

50% of discretionary and 18% of mandatory.

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Income Security are better thought of as insurance and pension systems that happen to be run by the government. This is why they're ear-marked in federal budgets and listed separately on your paycheck.

With a little bit more reading comprehension ability, you’d realize this is a satirical scenario about sometime in the future.

50% of discretionary spending.
