Romney promises to protect current Social Security and Medicare recipients from cuts.
He cannot get much from those programs by 2016.
Combined, they are projected to make up about 44 percent of the budget that year.
Interest costs, which cannot be touched, would make up an additional 9 percent of the budget, while Romney promises to add almost $100 billion to the Pentagon budget that year, based on his pledge that military spending reach 4 percent of GDP.
So what's left to cut?
