Meni, again - do some research on your own first. See how many "hungry" people there are in America and then see how many are "hungry" due to their own choices in life.
Our government gives:
1) Food Stamps
2) Free breakfast in the schools
3) Free lunch in the schools
4) WIC
5) Welfare checks
6) Medicaid
7) Free housing
In addition there are the private charities and food banks which provide food, clothing, shelter, help with utilities, etc.
Personally, I don't see why the government is helping people who absolutely refuse to help themselves and I'd rather see it ALL done by independent charities than by tax dollars, but I know it will never happen.
And because you obviously don't know how to use Google
, I'll help you out on the space program. Note the server it's on - even Serge, Vick and Colin would approve
