This blathering about the federal budget has been going on for 50 years.
What I think if if you want a real discussion then you need to talk about the real federal budget separately from the retirement, income security, health benefits for and paid by the peons.
So take away social security, unemployment, welfare, Medicare, VA and federal retirement benefits. And lets talk about what left. And pikachu there ain't any fat and little meat.
The whole debate from where I sit is based on innumeracy and wishful thinking.
It's politics, same as ever. We're not talking about the best way to balance the books of America LLC, we're talking about "who gets what, when." That's politics.
I think it's important to separate out pass through expenditures that are just transfers between working class peons and actual public goods and services.
