DO THE MATH:
we could still meet our core obligations:
• The federal government takes in about $200 billion in revenues each month.
• Interest on the national debt is around $30 billion.
• Social Security costs roughly $50 billion.
• Medicare and Medicaid cost about $50 billion.
• Active-duty military pay costs about $2.9 billion.
• Veterans affairs programs cost about $2.9 billion.
We can pay for ALL of the above and still have $80 to $90 Billion to spare. What we don’t have, is money for many of the rest of the programs the Federal government is not constitutionally tasked to do.
