Defense spending is one-sixth of the budget, and this is in no way a milestone. I know math isn't for everyone, but typically a headline aims for less than 100% wrong.https://twitter.com/Slate/status/1105945503265705984 …

Idiotic headline. Body clarifies that they actually mean DOD exceeds non-defense disc. spending, but that: 1) Is very different from headline, 2) Is an irrelevant comparison (why not compare to ALL spending?) 3) Has been true for 95% of U.S. history, so why pick on one Prez?

Also non-defense discretionary spending no longer includes things that Obamacare made into mandatory spending.
