The one thing I would say to that is the USA is a rich strong society. A lot of the things you talk about are the glue that holds the society together.

You might think that art is a joke but it is an industry that employees people and also makes people think. It adds value to society in a more abstract way that may not be comprehended by the simple minded.

Of course everyone could save money by living in a square identical box with the same things inside with everyone driving an identical fuel efficient car but that’s would be living as we know it.

Good government cost money. Good societies have good governments.

I suspect there is not nearly as much waste as you think there is.
