I don't like sending thousands dollars a year to pay for illegal immigrant's education and hospital bills, a failed education system, an inefficient government, frivolous law suits....these are the problems the debt is a symptom. . .

Seriously, in other countries it is easy to see that government programs are largely a sham to enrich those in power. At best they are used to provide jobs for the party faithful, buy votes or enhance the image of a dictator. Peron and Evita were loved by the masses. You seem to be very capable of in depth analysis, so I am wondering why you just give a blanket pass to all non-defense related spending. Given the magnitude of the spending is there no chance that over 10 or 11 years more than the amount of the proposed tax cut is being wasted?
