Democrats organize to fight back
The chart was for discretionary spending.

Social Security and medicare are entitlements, because people have paid for them. If they are running out of money, it is only because money has been stolen from them, and some people aren't paying enough into them.

I notice your chart also adds payments on the debt; that isn't "discretionary" either, unfortunately, and results almost entirely from imprudent tax cuts, recessions caused by lax Reaganomics repeals of regulation, and unneeded war and military spending.

And of course now we will be paying much more for services the debt, because the debt may explode if Trump gets his way.

It's not my "claim."
