The idea of a balanced budget is laughable. Most of the budget is comprised of mandatory expenses like entitlements and debt servicing costs. With 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day thru 2030, the costs of the entitlement programs will continue to rise.

We are running a $2 trillion deficit this fiscal year. Next year we will be paying one trillion dollars a year in debt servicing costs alone, more than the defense budget.

Nice, useful graphs. Thanks for posting them.

On the top one, outer ring representing spending — what the heck is the $865 Billion for “Income Security”...???
