Sorry, but you do not understand basics.  There is NO $3 trillion dollars to spend.  There are debt papers that others accept from the govt that trickle down through the major banking centers to buy services. Whether the services are "needed" or "wanted", the truth is that almost all in the world know and accept their life as it is, not their elevated lifestyle they can obtain using a government to take the labors from workers to give to those who do not work (or work hard enough to provide a lifestyle that they want).
