The 3 things that caused the deficit are: 1. Tax cuts for the uber rich, 2. Wars and more wars, 3. the Recessions.

So Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, food stamps, education spending, unemployment benefits and lunch programs did NOT cause the deficit and yet that is where the RepubliCONS want to take it back from. I say take from the uber rich, the wars and the bailouts for the banksters to balance the budget because that is what caused the imbalance.
