seems the biggest burdens are our interest payments on debt, defense, and of course, social spending (medicaid, social security).
so, if you wish to balance the budget, guess what needs to be cut? defense and social programs. believe it or not, military spending could definitely be cut-by quite a bit.
hey, here's a thought. get us the eff out of afganistan and iraq. they just voted on yet another war bill, to the tune of 80 billion if memory serves. yeah, we can afford that.
and i have no idea what all is involved with the site above, but the graph is very telling at a glance, isn't it?
