Why in gods name are you trying to flatter yourself? What makes you think, you pompous ass, that this article or me posting it has anything to do with you? It is an article about a problem in this country. You and your fake ass whatever you post all the time has nothing to do with it. To put it bluntly, you are nothing but a sea slug in all the worlds oceans and are insignificant. Completely unimportant and a bottom feeder with was is left of anything. If you would like to comment on the facts of the OP, please do so, otherwise just move on there fender head.

The third largest federal expense is the military behind S.S. and Medicare. To me it has nothing to do with liberal or conservative. Any large govt agency can look at areas of waste and afford to cut back, even the military

Absolutely. It's not just the army (not military in general. I've done contract briefly with the A.F., much better run from what I've seen. Know nothing about the navy, but from what I've seen there's a difference between the services).
The usps had the insight to shut down the central post office in New Orleans because it was inefficient to the point of being so useless it was actually more productive to close it.
Why can't other gubmint agencies be like that?
I use the example of my experience with the army because it was the most egregious I've ever seen. And I've heard very similar stories from others that have worked in that system. I've heard from some of the honest officers, with whom I've remained friends, and they agree with me about cutting out the dead wood. But the culture seems to be ingrained.
It would be as far as addressing the problem and putting your efforts in to it until it is resolved. Then move on to another problem and do the same thing. I find it disturbing that governments ( liberal or conservative as of late) are creating or expanding problems to keep themselves in power and paychecks on the backs of the downtrodden.
No, not trolling me at all. Lol
Correct. For once you may actually be having a moment of sane clarity. It will not last.

When you consider that S.S. and Medicare are paid into lifelong, they're really not that much of an expense.
It's hard to quantify what we receive out of the military. Not saying we receive nothing, just hard to quantify it.

There are trillions of unfunded dollars in S.S. and Medicare. I would call that a very large expense

To be honest I don't know much about how S.S. and Medicare are funded other than we pay into it.
What do you see as a precedent for this conclusion of yours (with which I disagree)?
See above.
I've read this sentence half-dozen times and I cannot make sense of it. I may be missing something...or you may have been less clear than you could have been. Would you say what you are saying here again? I'd like another shot at understanding it.
To be honest I don't know much about how S.S. and Medicare are funded other than we pay into it.
The $2.5 trillion SS surplus are part of the $20 trillion national debt. SS benefits began exceeding SS revenue in 2010 and those bonds are being redeemed to pay the difference. All treasuries are "unfunded" but are backed by the U. S. government which has never failed to make a payment.

Asshole, you've accused me of lying about 5 times - yet haven't even stated what I've posted is not accurate. Either prove what I said is false, or I will report you to the mods for harassment.

Agreed. The federal and local governments have enormous amounts of waste, but you have to start somewhere, and eliminating services for illegals is where I'd start.
Then I'd push to eliminate public employee unions, and reduce headcount of many agencies both federal and local, etc.
The problem is that the democratic vermin would fight those cuts because showering them with money is part of their agenda, just like with Greece. Lots of people on the payroll means you get their votes - and their dependents' as well - plus you're getting the GOP voters to pay higher taxes for it, since they pay most of the taxes in the US. Its a win-win for the dems, which is why government just keeps on growing in this country.

SS is never funded sufficiently one-to-one, you need many people paying into it and only one beneficiary for it to work. Its one of the reasons so many were against the formation of the concept a century ago, and so many want to kill it now. Without permanent population growth - an obvious nonstarter given the country's space and natural resource limitations - the program is unsustainable.
