"On Feb. 13, President Obama released his fiscal year 2013 budget proposal, which includes $3.67 trillion in new spending. That’s a 3.7 percent decline from 2012 levels, after adjusting for inflation.
Discretionary programs—like education, the military, and environmental protection—account for $1.15 trillion, or 31 percent, of the new budget. That includes around $73 billion for education, a 2 percent increase over last year. A poll by the Pew Research Center found that 62 percent of Americans support increasing education funding—the strongest support for any type of spending—even when asked in the context of how the federal government should reduce budget deficits."
"Well over half of the budget—62 percent or $2.27 trillion—funds mandatory spending, which includes earned-benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare. Those two programs are overwhelmingly popular among the American public. A Reuters poll found that more than 70 percent of Americans oppose cuts to those programs."
Nobody wants to cut anything? Ha! More like, nobody knows where to start, thanks to the special interests and 0Bama's friends in Washington.
My friends, below I give you a list of every government agency the U.S. currently has in existence. For sake of posterity, what would you get rid of to shrink our bloated deficits?
A list of every U.S. Government Agency, A-Z.
We could probably answer that question easily and in minute detail if only...
...If only Hussein and his flying monkeys had not made it impossible to do so. REALLY BUSH’S FAULT!!
From the archived web page image…
Expect More.gov was an initiative of the George W. Bush administration. This website has been archived and is posted here as an historical resource. It has not been updated since the end of 2008 and links to many external websites and some internal pages will not work.
So much for Hussein transparency! This Expect More site graded All Federal Programs by department. All Thousands of them. Can’t have troublemakers verify that at least half of decades-old programs got failing grades! AND WE STILL HAVE MOST OF THEM!!
Perhaps one of our patriotic White House Correspondents can ask Hussein the simple question...
WHY WAS THE WHITE HOUSE "EXPECT MORE" WEB SITE REMOVED IN LATE 2008?
Every Federal program which has failed for years (scoring les than 50%, 100% being totally effective in expectation and prediction) would be automatically cancelled permanently.

Where's welfare (the free stuff, in all its permutations?) I'm guessing most of the biggest segment of the pie, hidden away all cozy and warm and well-hidden.
I will question both your judgement and your sanity, if you deem to list Medicare but NOT Medicaid
I file Medicaid under welfare.
