The percentage of the Federal budget going to provide for the elderly is 56%, soon to rise to 64%. Are all these Americans double-dipping from both Social Security and Medicare actually old?

Yes. About 15% of Americans are age 65 or older..

Could we cut government spending by 64% by sending all American over the age of 65 to death camps. Sure, if that's the sort of person you are.

Having failed to bamboozle Americans by calling older Americans "The Takers", Tea Partiers and Republicans are now focused on paranoid schizophrenics collecting disability benefits in spite of their ability to jump down from a truck without any assistance.

Unfortunately for this narrative, the total of all disabled Americans, including those veterans Republicans despise because they've claimed full or partial disabilities because of war injuries, is only 8.8 million out of a population of 320 million or 2.75%.

2.75% of Americans have full or partial disability benefits and account for roughly 8% of the Federal budget. Let's say we retroactively apply a far more stringent definition of disability and could eliminate 25% of this expenditure and cut the Federal budget by 2% - and most of those people we'd be removing from pitifully small benefits are actually disabled.

Is a 2% reduction in Federal spending really the primary driving focus of the Tea Party and Republicans??? If that's true, they're obvious buffoons without any important policies on offer.

Clearly a 2% reduction in Federal spending is not going to achieve anything like the mouth watering 64% reduction in government spending which is driving the urgent movement to kill-off seniors.
