I'll note that which government agencies are facing huge cuts appears to correlate with perceived ideology, rather than any evidence of fraud or waste.

Speaking from experience, people do in fact visit the Presidio and GGNRA from other places; they are in fact major tourist draws.

Besides, the whole point of a federal government is to benefit Americans. "Americans benefit from it" is a feature, not a bug.

The fairness point is an interesting one; the reality is that California transfers huge amounts of money to bail out failing red states. If you want to be fair, then a lot more money ought to be transferred to spending in California.
