Behold, your budget: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/2023_US_... You can't cut $2T without cutting at least some "mandatory" spending or your interest payments, because the total of absolutely all your "discretionary" spending comes to a total of $1.7T. Your "discretionary" spending includes your entire active military. Not the retired military, that's "mandatory" spending, but all your active military. Your non-military "discretionary" spending is $0.9T, less than half of what people are talking about cutting. |
