You can add up the numbers, over 57% goes to aid of some kind or mandatory spending. I wonder how much more we can handle in these categories. If you add health care at about 100 billion a year this pie chart and the percentages get pretty skewed. I just wonder, if we take our time and really look at everything, just how much we could have available for health care? Taking a hard look at costs and waste in every area might surprise us all.
If you raise the numbers high enough we can have 15 trillion dollars more pork to go around for all. Either way, you pay.
Terry - yet there are so many who thing that the "entitlement" pieces of the pie are not big enough. That is what is really scary.
I'm not surprised. The thing that amazes me most, is that our economy hasn't totally collapsed.
Terry, It is the waste and mismanagement that frustrates me the most. We don't run our households this way. Kate
Taking a hard look at costs and waste in every area would not surprise me at all, but who can we find to do it? Certainly not politicians! LOL
Forget about healthcare for a minute. All the talk has been about it, but there is a much larger tax on the American people that is going to slide through unnoticed. It is called cap and trade, and hardly anyone has even talked about it. It has already passed the congress, and if no one complains, it will be signed into law. Electricity rates are expected to double and gasoline is expected to as well if this bill goes through. Talk about a bill that really will hurt the economy. Yet, people say nothing.
