I'll try to address all of your questions and points as succinctly as possible, cannongal.
Unfortunately, there's not a surplus of money in the U.S. government to use for new programs. And, re-allocation of current budget funding would introduce new problems by crippling important current programs and projects.
The U.S. government debt is now $22 trillion. That's the highest in history.
No government (or individual or company) that is already in debt can reduce incoming revenue (tax dollars) while increasing expenditures without increasing its base debt and interest debt, of course.
That is what has happened under the Trump Administration.
