Currently 14% of the entire budget is just servicing current national debt. 59% is mandatory entitlements for SS, medicare, medicaid & other healthcare, income security, veterans benefits & services, and "small" mandatory programs like retirement plan coverage. That's $5.2 trillion between them.
That leaves Discretionary spending. It's the remaining 27%. Half of it is National Defense, the other half is "everything else", education, transportation, foreign aid, housing, science, law enforcement, etc. That's $1.9 trillion between them.
We're at -$2 trillion deficit.
Okay ClownShack, it's so easy, balance this budget and deliver your deliverables.
