Where is all the money going?

[Rustic]

It isn't going to education

It isn't going to science

It isn't going to r&d

Since 1985 America has maybe increased its r&d funding about 25 billion. How can this be the cause of our debt problems???

It isn't going to infrastructure

That one year in 2009 is what you conservatives point at for your whining about infrastructure. Since then we're back down to levels not seen in the past 30 years. Something tells me that this isn't the cause of our debt!

None of these areas have increased since Clinton...So we damn well know that they're not causing our debt problems.

The American people are getting fucked and we're getting next to shit for it. Where is all this money going too?? 1. Wars of nation building(the wars in the middle east have cost this nation 3-5 trillion bucks)...2. Wall street cash infusions(I've heard tens of billions every month), 3. The Bush tax cut. Yes, Tax cuts cost a shit ton and they're piling up our debt. Probably close to half of the deficit is being caused by this cluster fuck.

4. Yes, welfare has become costly...I'll admit it. We're doing very little to invest in areas that can strengthen our economy., while throwing money down the toilet.

Time to stop blaming the 4 areas above and start thinking critically.

It's going to socialist entitlement programs, always a waste.

If you're talking about food stamps, insane levels of unemployment insurance and nation building in the middle east. Well, I agree with you on this.

Some of this certainly should be moved over to more useful infrastructure, science, r&d and education.

I am not a big fan of nasa because they have made it into a Muslim outreach program.
And Medicare and SS should be an opt in or opt out as all socialist entitlement programs should be...

Bureaucracy

I can't find spending on Federal Pensions (top six spending item) in Pie Chart? Maybe baked into SSI/employment?

It's going to welfare you silly socialist fuck. The system is doing as it has always and will always do, fail to pay the bill of the failing welfare programs forced on the educated by the ignorant greedy masses.

Amazing that 60% of our entire budget goes to ssi, medicare and unemployment. Another 16% goes to the military....

76%....

Amazing is that you JUST realized what so many of us have talked about for years. Amazing that you prolly have not considered that 76% is nothing when every year it will consume more.

I suppose new ObamaCare costs are buried under Medicare/Medicaid slice? Why do we have three Medical programs? Bureaucracy (thanks Frank) 3X

All of these socialist entitlement programs would have been much better off if they were all opt in or opt out....

They will say...........nobody will sign up till they are sick or jobless.

We spend as much on our military yearly as we do for science, r&d, and infrastructure on our own country. Pretty fucked up???

We spent as much on the middle eastern wars the past decade as the past 30 years worth of those.

Except the military is actually a constitutional expense, the others, except as they pertain to the military, not so much.

Answer my questions damn it.

How can we get out of wars as Obama sends fighting men to Syria?

How is it that taxing the top 5% achieves anything other than more wars?

How should we rerform welfare?
