Actually our 2 biggest budget problems are Medicare and Medicaid,
and that's largely because of the uncontrolled cost of health care. That $6,000 per person (in 2007, who knows how much it is now) is bankrupting government as well as private entities.
$6,000 x300 million = $1,800,000,000,000, that's one trillion, eight hundred billion.
