Here's the facts, pick your fat cats.

Notice that DHHS is larger than the DOD and SS.

Notice that DHHS has expanded and DOD has contracted.

Notice that the NASA budget is hardly noticeable...

I’ve come to like that graph. I wish I could add a balanced budget bar which shows that to balance the budget we need 30% cuts in DoD, SS and Medicare and 50% across the board cuts everywhere else.

One more thing PIF.

To anyone who wants to, look at the “Treasury Dept” part of that graph. The exponential increase in the minimum payment on our debt is not something to ignore. It dipped down in 2010, in part due to the Fed’s QE but that can’t last very much longer (inflation is going up). We are that close to being forced into default and are just a few more Obama deficits and/or rising interest rates away. If we are forced into default, then there is only as much DoD, SS and Medicare as our debt holders think we should have.
