"Mandatory" spending(entitlements) are steadily becoming a larger part of the pie; discretionary smaller. When we boomers begin to feed at the trough, the mandatory spending will also boom due to SS, medicare and the like. There have been studies indicating medicare alone will send the country to the poor house within 20 years; maybe less.
One has to wonder if these people(our fearless leaders) really know what they're doing.
Nice pie-charts and very instructive. Thanks
