Snewf, look at merbigs link and no i didnt no include education.

I only compared it to the big three entitlements. The SS(retirements/pensions), Medicare/medicaid(health care...which medicaid IS funded by the states and fed, so you would have to include that.) and Welfare.

But using just federal monies and ignoring the fact that states have to pay half of medicaid.

895b Defense

829B healthcare (435B to states)
774B SS
557B welfare

2160 B total. Fed dollars

All according to plan:

Step 1: Create Tea Party
Step 2: Displace moderate Republicans
Step 3: Moderate votes go to moderate dems.
OR
Step 3: Republicans abandon extremist rhetoric, move to center and take seats from moderate dems
Step 4: Centrist, unified government. Extremist fringe on both sides marginalized.
Step 5: ....
Step 6: Profit

yeah that's a conundrum right there
and I don't have the answer to it

I suppose we could start by raising taxes on families that earn more than $300,000 per year

A libertarian wants a tax increase? Does not compute.

like I said, I don't have the answer to this problem

it might take some pragmatism to get out of this hole we've dug ourselves into
