Cut taxes for the rich! Cut benefits for the poor!

[Danzig]

the paper here has a section on votes from congress.
the other day they increased the defense budget, already incredibly bloated, and cut benefits to poor, food stamps, etc.
made no sense than, doesn't now. the buffett rule certainly won't be enough to truly help.

again, defense, entitlements (ss, medicare, medicaid) are the two huge drains. been saying for who knows how long, those are what's sapping the fed, and us. and it will continue to be a drag, and grow to be a bigger problem. eventually there will be no money left for anything but those two areas of the federal budget and interest. all other depts would be completely non-funded because there would be no money left in the budget.
we spend on defense what the entire rest of the world combined spends. outrageous, unsustainable.
