You're right - "blatant waste is blatant waste". And government welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, are the most egregious and deplorable forms of government waste. It takes from producers and funnels money to parasites who are nothing but a drag on society.
Defense isn't even 1% of the spending problem in this country and even the ignorant liberals know it.
You mentioned a lot of large programs that impact a lot of people and declared they are examples of deplorable waste without providing any evidence at all. There is also a clear moral reason for why some of the programs you mentioned exist.
For example Medicaid helps provide aid to sick children. There is a clear moral reason to provide this care. There is also an economic one as these children will be the producers of the future.
I know some people blindly follow ideologies where government spending is bad an inefficient but they never really want to talk about how expensive it is to have people unemployed or in jail or disabled.
Please cite the section of the Constitution which declares the federal government is responsible for what you deem to be "moral reasons" (which are in fact social issues but you believe you can get further with the false narrative of "moral").
Furthermore, if it is so "moral" - why aren't you covering the cost to help all of the sick children? Do you lack morality? Is that what you're saying?
