Hey dumbfuck, anybody who understands the economy knows that RECESSIONS blow out the deficit, not defense spending. Your graph even shows this. We suffered recessions in 1981, 1989, 2001 and 2008. Now go back and tell us in what years did the deficit start widening? There's the correlation. Can you read your own graph? Duh!
Defense spending is less than 20% of the federal budget, down from 49% in 1962. Yet you want to blame everything on it and ignore everything else. That would be like you spending 80% of your money on tranny hookers, and thinking your problem is you spend too much on food. You are a dipshit who constantly acts like a know-it-all. The truth is you know nothing about the real numbers. You're stupider than the Tea Wipes you constantly make fun of.
So WTFagboy, this is my third attempt to pin you down on the original topic of this thread. What's the matter? Are you too skeered of me to answer?
I have two simple questions for you to answer without deflecting or evading. A simple yes or no will suffice.
1. Did the money that built up the trillions of dollars in assets held in the SS and Medicare trust funds come from US taxpayers? YES ____ NO ____
2. Do the trust funds earn a return on those assets? YES ____ NO ____
