>> You can state that deficit spending is not affected because of the military I didn't say that. I said that CBO has referred to our deficits as "unsustainable" due solely to the liberal social programs I mentioned. The unsustainable nature of it has nothing to do with the military budget. To put a finer point on it, the cost of the two wars was small compared with the cost of these other items. SS alone faces a $9 Trillion deficit as of today. Medicare, over 40 Trillion. Medicaid, Obamacare, and interest on these brings us real close to 100 Trillion and that is before you count pensions.
