Default Re: Poll: 81 Percent Think US on Wrong Track

Spinner, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
More than 20% of GDP is spent on Social Security,
About 19% on military
Medicare 13%
Around 11% in government administrative cost.

That leaves around 37% left over.

We annually pay more than $3,000,000,000 on interest alone on our national debt- mostly to countries who doesn't like us. Then we have to pay down the 9,000,000,000,000 principal.

We consume more foreign oil than domestic- again from most countries who don't like us.
While we "invest" around .8% GDP in energy.

.

Efficient drivers do it better.
