That's fascinating.
1. Where's defense spending in that picture?
2. How does losing 99% of the tax revenue that guys like Romney are paying help fix that problem?
Defense spending is near all-time lows as a percentage of our wealth (GDP) spent on it.
You are attempting to obfuscate, or else you are completely ignorant. I suspect both.
The runaway expenses which are destroying America are entitlements.
Defense as a % of GDP in the post WWII era bottomed in 2000, at 3.7%. Not surprisingly that would be the last year before the GOP got the presidency back.
And Romney wants even more defense spending.
This is the basic modus operandi of the GOP - they are always looking for ways to squeeze money out of the budget, with phoney talk about deficits and debt,
just so they can shift it to the defense industry, and to the rich via big tax cuts.
Republicans have NO interest in balancing the budget; their only interest is in talking about balancing the budget when they're out of power to fool fiscally responsible, but naive people into voting for them.
You are struggling. Here is the question again which you simply refuse to address.
Defense spending is at or near record lows as a percent of our GDP spent. It is about the same as it has always been, excepting real wars.
Guess which spending categories are exploding out of control as a percentage of our GDP?
LOL
