Re:the first comment: The US spends most of its money on military and defence, though the political conservatives blame so-called entitlement programs.
Paul Ryan's plan includes more tax cuts for wealthy people, who already pay the lowest taxes that they ever have since like 1920. Taxes in the US are very low because of the Reublican plan to shrink government by "starving the beast" (their own words). If Ryan cared about the DEFICIT, he would not include tax cuts in his plan. He does not care about the deficit, he wants to shrink government as do the other tea partiers. The deficit is just a means to an end, instead of having an honest debate on whether to shrink government.

Makes you wonder what they're spending it all on, without an NHS for instance.
