The largest factor in entitlement growth is Medicare Part D. The problem I see with the analysis is its backwards logic. It's the costs, not the benefits that need to be cut. We need legislation that is not written by industry and supported by legislators who head of to industry for their rewards once it passes.

That was reported yesterday to be behind schedule and a quarter of a billion dollars over budget– that will eventually cost tax payers 1.3 trillion dollars. We need a party with a back bone that will stand up to the military industrial complex and castrate them. We spend more than every industrialized country in the World combined in "defense." The Taxpayers of this country (not the millionaires who pay little or nothing– so that is nearly 99% of the population) ought to rise up and quash this madness before it does irreparable harm to the future of this once great nation (and that is pushing it)... how about cutting the bloated military and Pentagon budget???
