Social Security and Medicare form the single largest piece of federal expenditure, and second place isn’t close.

SS and Medicare also provide an income to the kitty....so calling it an expenditure just doesn’t hold. It’s not included in the budget.

To keep things in perspective, the current Social Security trust fund is approximately 3 Trillion dollars.

The Iraq war cost approximately 2 trillion dollars. The Iraq war did nothing of value to the American people was very destructive to both Americans and the people of Iraq. It destabilized the middle east.

How about less war for a change.
