A total of 2.569 trillion.
Defense? 565 billion for 2016.
Yet, you think you can close the budgets by only cutting defense?
You rant about "obscene" defense, when your entitlements cost five times as much.
How much waste, fraud exists in your spending?
Yet, you never seem to find any cut acceptable, do you Ras?
All you want is more.
The problem Ras, is there really isn't any more to give.
Cuts have to be made in entitlements.
And defense.
People don't want higher taxes, simply because we all know you'd just spend more.
