We want free food, free healthcare, free college for us and Mexico and we want $3T in CV relief...WTF Dems?

Nice chart. One thing to note however is that if we do away with Social Security while that would reduce spending by $1 trillion, it would also reduce government revenues by a trillion with elimination of its payroll tax and income taxes on its paid benefits.

Relax, I’ve never known a single conservative who wanted to “do away with Social Security”. Not one, that’s Mexicrat driven folklore.

Not so much that, it's more that I like math. Knowing that Social Security pays for itself until something like 2034, I wanted to see what percent did mandatory spending represent if Social Security was taken out. I am pretty sure I came up with 48%. Likewise based on a tread last week on the census and congressional apportionment, I put together an Excel spreadsheet in which I was able to match how the number of seats for each state was calculated, just because I enjoy math puzzles. 9th grade algebra was strictly fun and games to me.
