Pie chart of 'federal spending' circulating on the Internet is misleading ...That chart was below the other chart on the link I posted. I believe Dilbert posted the same link. As Trump said about China, SnitchyVI was caught red handed. But his hands are always red trying to beat his limp dick off.

Claim: Says 57% of federal spending goes to the military and just 1% goes to food and agriculture, including food stamps.

This is showing the percentage of revenue / spending against the GNP. Since the taxes were cut and the spending was not cut then obviously the percentage would be less thus showing a greater divide between the two. Below is the total tax revenue per year from 1981 to 2012. https://taxfoundation.org/federal-ta...rce-1934-2018/

A proper analysis would go something like this - the national debt has gone up by $19 trillion since 1980. Defense outlays have accounted for 15% of total federal spending over the same period. Ergo, 15% of the growth in the national debt (less than $3 trillion) is attributable to defense spending.
But that approach would be too rational for snitchy. He wants to whip up anti-military fervor, so he heaps 100% of the debt problem on 15% of the budget.

The entitlements programs so far have added nothing to the national debt as they are fully funded.
bambino is correct future outlays will not be enough in our current payroll tax system and they need adjustments.
That does nothing to fix the current problem of discretionary spending.
Like I said, many of you need to brush up on the difference between discretionary spending and entitlement spending.
To date entitlement inflow have made the discretionary spending seem like it is a smaller problem than it is because of their SURPLUS. Originally Posted by WTF
