People are worried they're going after pensions and medicare yet there is so much fluff they can go after first. I think that is the true fear of many politicians: exposing just what asinine things the govt spends money on.
USA prints money based on imagination. This budget business is a front or scam. The whole fed reserve system is a scam as well as the stock market. It pensions are lost or health care gone then it is by design. Ponder that.
