Actually last time I checked a big majority was/is both social programs and defense, both pretty much split down the middle. Here's the thing, Bush cut taxes so there is less revenue. Less revenue means there is less money being recirculated which hurts the economy. Less revenue also leads to a bigger debt as long as spending stays the same, so it hurts us in two ways. So you either have to cut spending or you need more revenue, or both. To cut social programs in order to avoid taxing wealthy people at the rate they used to be taxed is immoral as far as I'm concerned, yet you never hear a Republican mention cutting defense spending. To the christian conservatives it is much more Jesus like to build bombs and invade countries, and Satan is behind the idea of wanting to feeding our own people. The whole thing is fucking disgusting.
