Why are the susidies to other countries not listed?
How about the Medicare abuse? Always discussed...a known problem....nothing gets done. The benefactors must be a large contribution group.
How about military installations around the world where there is no conflict? No danger of conflict again? Must be the benefactors...ditto above.

How about the susidies to places like Iraq? Afganistan? Where the politicians don't like us but like the payola.

How about wasteful programs like still coining the one dollar coins (for 5 years after they were deemed not usable by the public) and another 5 years of coining to go....$350,000,000 cost to taxpayers SO FAR plus a new vault $650,000 to store the coins no one will use???

If there were a true line by line analysis of the budget via a zero based budgeting process there would be more than enough spending cuts identified.

The politicians, their contributors, their special interest groups, their lobbyists will not let that happen, hence go after programs that affect the average citizens....AGAIN.

And the average citizens will do nothing to change the cycle.....AS PER USUAL.

And now there is even an identity assigned to the miserable way the country is run...THE NEW NORM
