The fact that the way we as a nation appropriates money is as much a problem with the debt crises as the unwillingness of elected officials to cut spending. Automatic built-in increases to the budget is the reason why the left can make the claim that a simple freeze in the rate of growth in spending amounts to a budget cut. Huh? That almost defies physics.
In 2009, the the total budget was 3.7 trillion causing a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit. We haven’t had a static budget (without built in increases) using the appropriations process since the early 1970’s. Conservative candidates in 2016 need to hammer this point home as often as they can.
