What was the grand total that we spent in Iraq, 1.3 trillion? Something like that? Think of all of the countries we could invade and occupy with that money. 2 trillion in one year. I really hope that is inaccurate, because if not, it is sad.

We pay the unemployed more than veterans?

So the "war" effort is roughly less than 10% of entitlements...

its sad, what is really depressing is 2/3 of it goes to old people. that isn't going to go away as we go gray as a nation.

Ummm... most of the programs listed are not entitlements. Most of those programs are discretionary spending.

SS, Medicare and Medicaid account for 2/3.

SS and Medicare almost do 2/3 by themselves

Sorry Zach, but for the good of the nation you're gonna have to go. There's a single mother of five who has never held a job that needs the social security money earned from your labor.

I have NO issue with government benefits for our veterans, elderly that have paid into SS and their healthcare.
It's the ones that are too stupid and lazy to get a job that piss me off. They can get off their dead arse and start at some underpaying job, bust their balls and move up the ladder like I did.

2 trillion yet people go hungry and no Universal health care. somebody is putting money in the wrong place

just to imagine how much money that is for a second, you could build 2000 Cowboys Stadiums with that money. For someone making 100,000/year, it would take him 20 million years to amass that much money (assuming he never spends it and pays no taxes on it). That's over $6,000 for every citizen of the United States or $280 for every person on Earth.
That's a ton of money.

So you're admitting government doesn't spend $2 trillion efficiently, and yet you want them in charge of our health care????
