In the end spending is spending. If a program spends a ton, it doesn't spend one penny less because it has some tax associated with it.

"Some tax associated with it"? SS has the dedicated SS tax, not some vague "association". Without the SS program the tax wouldn't exist. It pays for itself.

Not true of the wars. They are "supplemental" and without revenue support. And an incremental addition to the deficit.
