    It’s a nice graphic, but I wish they had partitioned mandatory and discretionary spending. The distinction is quite important in the current policy debate, since cuts in discretionary spending are a whole lot easier.

    Now that is a cool and informative graphic! I’m predicting that health and services potion will shrink in the coming months as the House slices and dices away at Obama’s health care overhaul. And don’t get me started on SS… Here’s a question for other readers: Do you factor in SS benefits into your total retirement portfolio?

    @Ken Feyl

    They do — click on the links in the left hand margin to hide one or the other. Should show you what you’re looking for.

    @Jon

    I’m young — 25 — and have resigned myself to never seeing a penny of SS. If I get any, I’ll be pleased as punch. It’ll be a nice surprise.

    Same here Greg, I’m 23 and discount it from my overall retirement portfolio. Even if I did get it, it wouldn’t even be comparable to my disbursements from the Roth and 401k. But yes, I’d be ecstatic if I got any social security!

    $1+ trillion/year on medicare and medicaid? This is why we need reform in those areas … but apparently that’s “socialist”
