ORIGINAL: Musicmystery What a ridiculous rant. The bulk of spending goes to social security, medicaid/medicare, and defense. 53%. The examples you've cited are all together less than 1%, and include made up ones at that. Want to fix this? Adjust social security and medicaid/medicare, cut defense, cut overall spending, raise taxes. Anything short of ALL FIVE is NOT going to reduce the debt. Run the numbers yourself. Except, as some idiot pointed out, SS isnt adding to the current debt without understanding its long term problems. And as even the idiots in the Whitehouse admit, raising taxes will hurt not help. Her "rant" is right on. There is plenty of room for meaningful cuts in discretionary spending and repeal Obamacare. That will improve unemployment by a couple of points within a year..and might even get blowboy reelected.
