Why do people argue about big businesses and goverment spending when they have NO IDEA whatsoever how any of this spending works or what goes where?

Did you ever work for a big company?  That money problem and where money goes cannot be figured out or funneled to wherever unless there is a whole operation in place that figures out what to channel where and they need all sorts of approvals before anything can get spent.

So how do we, the public, know or talk about all this spending.  

It's silly, really.

I am seeing complaints about how much is spent for this disease or that issue, like it is coming out of their pockets.  Give me a break.   No one knows.

    Hello t:

    Sure I can..  Oh, it's not easy, but the data is there to be gleaned.  If I had a reason to seek it out, other than to please you, I would.  Look..  I get that you're not willing to do that kind of grunt work.  But, don't assume you're the only one.
