A few things about the 2009 budget

Here are a few of the figures from the 2009 budget.  I found them at the treasury web site:
                      $Billions
Expenditures:  3521
Receipts:         2104
Deficit:            1417

Social Security:  727
HHS                 796
Interest              383
TARP               154
Food stamps       70
Subtotal           2130

Note that we have not even touched on the business that the US government is supposed to handle under the constitution and every dollar of the federal tax receipts got spent.  I understand the desire to save the world, including with our military.  We just can't afford it any more.
