Notice the Leftist programs like welfare, housing payments, AFDS, extended unemployment, food stamps, school breakfasts and lunches, government day care, free phones, health care and other services for illegal aliens and the like are not listed there.
Another-words, the Republicans are evil if they don’t want the Left to be able to buy voters.
Everything that has been submitted for cuts, involves the military, medicare, and or social security.
Of these, only the military is something our government is suppose to expend funds for. By contract (implicit) with citizens, medicare, and social security are agreed to by citizens.
The list of Leftist goodies are not something citizens have signed on to. They don’t contribute funds for them.
Why are they the last to be addressed every single time?
As recently as fiscal year 2001, President Clinton’s last budget, federal spending amounted to just $1.9 trillion. If spending since 2000 had simply increased at the rate of inflation plus population growth, spending this year would have been less than $2.69 trillion.
Our budget deficit this year, despite those Bush tax cuts and a recession-driven decline in revenue, would have been just $241 billion, compared with an actual deficit of more than $1.1 trillion.
In fact, even starting from today’s spending levels, if future spending grew at inflation plus population, it would be only $4.8 trillion in 2022. The budget deficit in that year would be $199 billion, with deficits decreasing each year.
Compare this to Obama’s proposed fiscal-cliff deal, which would increase spending to $5.5 trillion in 2022, the same as the current baseline. That’s right: The president’s proposal does not reduce spending at all. There are no net cuts, not even in the Washington sense of reductions from the baseline. The few programmatic cuts he recommends, most of which lack specifics, are offset by other spending increases. All that spending means that, if the president gets every bit of the $1.6 trillion in new taxes he has asked for, we would still add $6 trillion to the national debt over the next ten years, and run a $661 billion deficit in 2022. Moreover, since there are so few specifics in the president’s proposal, these estimates likely underestimate the amount of spending, debt, and deficits it would incur.
