Walmart’s low wages cost taxpayers a lot of money and contribute to national debt, this according to a new congressional report. One Walmart supercenter can cost taxpayers as much as $251,000 in food stamps alone.

Dear Ms. Drew Gilpin Faust, President of Harvard University,

Please take a stance and action on Reinhart and Rogoff’s multipally-debunked austerity paper.

Entitlement spending is mandatory spending as mandated by congress and differs significantly from discretionary spending. Entitlement spending generally makes up around 60% – 65% of total US government spending.

The largest component of the US budget is entitlement spending. Entitlement is not a dirty word – let’s take a look at how it works.

As the most powerful nation on earth, the US has a profound responsibility to lead the world to sustainability. But we are failing miserably in this role.

Contrary to a lot of propaganda being espoused by certain political groups, the US does not have a discretionary “spending problem!” The solution to the US budget deficit is, in fact, quite straightforward if not entirely easy.

I recently posted an article explaining why the US budget deficit is not the biggest issue facing the country.

The US budget deficit has been for several years relentlessly in the public’s eye. But is this focus really warranted?
