I must be missing something - this budget breakdown is likely not put out by
right wing fringe groups if it is actually posted on whitehouse.gov. It also
doesn't reflect what will or will not be approved as it is just a beginning cut
that we are watching get hashed out. It does provide a useful graphic to help
us understand where our monies are going and I'm glad it is posted.
Yes, the budget proportions reflect the reality that most of our current
government expenditure is SS, Medicare and Medicaid and Defense...this is a
known fact and not our president's fault - if the intent is to lay blame. It
is a good reminder that reform is needed, if we, the citizens, don't like the
proportions shown.

So, if Obama brought ALL the troops home tomorrow, and
reduced defense spending to zero, how much would he be
able to reduce the $13 trillion federal deficit?
And, why isn't this proposal included in Obama's recent
federal budget?
