We spend nearly the same amount of money on federal pensions and interest on our soaring debt as we do for the entire Defense Structure. How many have any idea that is true. Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security alone....top 2 trillion annually.
I'm sorry what?
Yes......I said trillion.....with a T. Over 2 Trillion every 365 days.
The entire Defense Spending annually....falls short of 600 billion.
You are going to ignore entitlements, they dominate your spending and unfunded mandate figures.....wake up and smell the Juju.
