    "The main drivers of the recent increases have not been the largest three programs—Social Security, Medicare, and defense—but rather rapid growth in numerous other programs.

    ...

    Republicans led the way on spending increases in 2020, and then handed the big government baton to the Democrats for 2021 and 2022."

    Social Security and Medicaid should not be part of the regular budget - as those are self-funded.

    Defense is on of the few items - that is actually authorized in the Constitution.

    And as I mentioned in another tread - there are many items in the defense budget that could be cut - WITHOUT comprising our defense.

    I am guessing that you meant Medicare, not Medicaid.
