If you mean that two-thirds of the budget goes to defense right now, that's not correct. For FY 2023 the defense budget is $817 billion (plus another $30 billion for national security programs of other government departments like DOE). The total federal budget for FY 2023 is $5.5 trillion, and the largest share of that is consumed by mandatory entitlement spending to the tune of $927 trillion.
Look at Janet Yellen's comment: "We can afford two wars."
Said at a time when Americans are trying to stretch exhausted budgets.
Anecdotally, there is a huge hunger in the country for something/anything different (why else would a flake like RFK Jr be getting so much interest with the media stifling his campaign?).
> Of course, there are elements of the economic crisis looming over the country that are beyond the Biden Administration’s control.
Although most of those are the cumulative results of policies Democrats have been pushing for decades.
True, there are some things beyond the Administration's ability to make better. But they can easily be made worse...
In general i agree but when 2/3 of the budget is defense, again neither party will touch it!

Washington is out of touch with reality.

The discontent among Americans is palpable.
