So what do you slash that some majority of the American people won’t be up in arms about? And remember that Social Security ty, Medicare and Medicaid, Defense, and interest on the debt make up roughly 72% of the budget. And if we cut spending on everything else but those we still would have to borrow. Though it would be a smaller amount.
The endless wars would save $1/2 Trillion annually.
Social Security ty, Medicare and Medicaid, = SUPPOSED to be paid for with payroll taxes and not income taxes. Go back to that system.
