Partially because military is such a big part of the budget but listening


to GOP debate, one would think our military is 3rd rate and need massive injection of funds or it'll fall apart. While DoD funding is approximately 50% of federal government's discretionary spending.

Social security, Medicare, and military spending accounts for about 70% of federal budget now. Without tacking all three of them, there is really no way to get federal spending under control.
