Very nice graphics! Seems to me besides the usual entitlements, the unemployment insurance is huge. Zero’s contribution in destroying jobs. I assume food stamps are inclusive in that.
Yep, food stamps are included in that number. SS has been running in the red since 2010 and Medicare Part A has been running in the red since 2008. Moreover, Medicare Parts B and D (SMI) premiums only fund 25% of the costs. By law, the General Fund picks up 75% of the costs, which is why Medicare will consume the entire federal budget if it is not reformed. Our aging population will drive the costs upward in a fairly rapid fashion over the next 20 years.
