Technically we could also turn communist by that thought. We could pay the rest of the world a living wage technically constitution wise.
Realistically, ethically and righteously its up to the states.
I do know whenever the central government gets a hold of it they screw it up, bloat it with crony payoffs and distort it to what they want it to do. That's why the founding fathers set up the country and government this way. They(socialist) perverted the commerce law to mean regulate everything which it was never meant todo.

All true. It's up to us to elect politicians who don't do that. And it's up to the politicians to develop a sufficiently robust set of social services and social welfare that voters will be content with that and not, in their frustration of being underserved by a government that needs to take care of its people, end up electing a government that will over-serve them by going full socialist.

Health care and education get nearly as much individually as military.
Military is constitutional as healthcare and education isn’t.

Why is the federal government even involved in healthcare and education? Aren't those issues better addressed at the state level?

Your cartoon should show all the government agencies eating well, surrounded by taxpayers with empty plates.

What does "hundreds of billions of dollars" mean?
NATO sure is a profitable cash-cow for being "obsolete".

That's your political opinion, to which you are certainly entitled. However, as a matter of the law, health car and education are constitutional.

"Arts" isn't even on the list. You want art? Make it or buy it.
