No doubt Congress is full of spendthrifts. Trump made no attempt to cut spending, nor is he remotely interested in trying.

We spend that much on toilet paper for government workers.
The problem with our deficit is military spending, Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. Until someone tackles those budget problems, messing with foreign aid isn't going to solve anything.

Do you not believe taxes should go towards helping the less fortunate and the (poor) sick?

Social Security and Medicare goes to everyone, even the wealthy. It will need to be means tested at some point because there isn't enough money to cover everyone anymore. Medicaid is for the poor, and I can accept a safety net for them. But even then, I want a far more efficient system to serve them.

How much to you get a month? (roughly)
You'll never have a more efficient health service for the poor, or the many, all the time you prioritise profits over patients.

Sorta depends what you pay in. My mom gets about 2 grand a month, and of course most of her medical bills are paid. She also has a supplemental plan that covers other things that medicare doesn't cover, or gives her higher end facilities that other's wouldn't get. Nothing fancy, just not the bottom of the barrel.
I pay about $500/month for insurance that really doesn't cover everything but protects me from something catostrophic.

Yes, he did do that, but his increase in defense spending dwarfed it. Trump has made some decent inroads in deregulation and cutting through the government bullshit. But he is not a deficit hawk by any stretch of the imagination. That's why the deficit is going up at a rate no different than when Obama was in office. It's not important to Trump, most republicans and all democrats.

Hit the lnk. He specifically addressed the defense issue. Im pretty sure you know the story.
Trump's order comes amid growing worry among conservatives about rising federal spending. He said he "made deals with the devil" before signing a $1.3 trillion spending package in March that boosted both domestic and military spending, but said he was now determined to reduce spending.
"I made deals with the devil in order to get that done because we had to improve our military, our military was depleted," he said. "Get rid of the fat, get rid of the waste, and I'm sure you can do it, I'm sure everybody in this table can do it. It will have a huge impact."
