The bulk of the budget (red) is on autopilot). We need to start making some cuts here.

$81 billion can be cut immediately with the EITC/Child Tax Credits.

Incredibly appropriate that Social Security is the top of the Pyramid.

All other at 501 billion.

If ain't important enough to have a name then cut it.

We could slash our military spending by half and still be far and away the most well funded military in the world. I've never understood the GOP's conservative claims but the utterance of a reduction in military spending makes them lose their minds. They're happy to let that number bloat out of control because apparently a core of conservatism is an infinitely funded military.

Nice graph. Shows how the Republicans and Trump have no intention to cut any of the actual cost drivers of the deficit. Playing y'all for fools since 1980...
