I remember 15 years ago having it pointed out that with everything cut but the DOD and Medicare, we still wouldn't break even without revenue increases. Now that could be fixed by, let's say negotiating lower prices with medical companies, but come on, we need to funnel money into their pockets. The point is, they will never make the cuts that need to be made, but they will nickle and dime pain points they mischaractertize as "wasteful".
