    Nah its actually accidentally correct. Defense spending was barely larger than just Medicaid by itself in 2022. What Wikipedia labels as just “health” had 150 billion more than defense spending. To put it in better perspective, defense spending was 767 billion out of a 6.3 trillion dollar budget. Still huge, but not literally 2/3ds the budget, though I’m sure this meme is just taking the piss because we really do spend a shitload more than anyone else.

      It’s funny how the memes factual inaccuracy and the meme’s wrong understanding of an eclipse even each other out and make it fit again
