However, if you look closely and take out the Mandatory budget items including Medicare, Medicaid and SS which are forced to go up due to the aging population, spending for non defense budget items declined. That's a disgrace.

Hmmm, that statement strikes me as funny. How about we apply that logic to the other side:

Well, if you took out the mandatory defense budget items (since that is a primary function of govt) including everything in said budget which is forced to go up due to the state of the world and the war on terror, then you have no defense increase either. <g>
