Federal Budget

The Federal Debt in 2010 is about 14.2 trillion dollars, or about 97% of annual GDP.
The annual increase, including supplemental appropriations (not included in the "budget deficit", was $1.7 trillion in 2010, following increases of $1 trillion and $1.9 trillion in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

The NY Times has two interesting graphics about the budget.

Note the size of the blocks represented on the NYtimes budget graphic.  Military spending, Social Security and Medicare are by far the largest components of Federal spending.  Any discussion of spending cuts which does not include major cuts in these three areas is not worthy of serious consideration.

  1. I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp cell number  +2347012841542
