Thanks...Hadn't seen that particular chart...but isn't it interesting the changes and similarities between 1956 and 2006? Today the Defense budget is 20% and the Social programs are 60%....just exactly the reverse in 1956..... in both cases/years, the "other" spending was about 11%.... So again, I ask....if we are going to cut, the only real place to cut is the Social programs..... But if we just cut the "proposed increases"...wouldn't that put us back in the black ink? You know...the ones the various lobbying groups scream about and label as "cuts in the budget" My guess is yes, it would.
