SpaceX to Send Privately Crewed Dragon Spacecraft ...
The military is something like 20% of the budget. That's not where most of your money is going.

You're including social security and medicare/aid, which is not entirely money that can be easily diverted. Especially social security. Without those, defense is the lion's share of the budget, and with Trump's new proposal, even more so.

Sure... if you wall off most of the budget and then look at the rest, defense is the lion's share.
But that makes no sense.
