Interestingly, only one of those three is constitutionally required. The other two were supposed to be funded by the participants......and could still be if properly managed.

To control and balance our budget, there are only 3 line items that matter: Social Security, Medicare, and the Military. Truer words have never been spoken. really?.............interest on the debt is already over $300B......will be over $500B in 3 years ...reaching over $600B in 5 years...and ONLY if long term interest rates do not rise above ~ 3.7% military spending is about equal to all other discretionary spending ~$800B...........it will not and should not be cut........however, the pentagon should be read the riot act to limit waste................other discretionary spending can be cut in half saving over $350B................Social Security must be reformed..............Medicare must be scaled back. EVERYTHING matters.....................nothing is being done..................total financial collapse is guaranteed..........just a matter of when
