I am actually not scared - it is an equity issue for me. We shouldn't elevate
the few at the expense of the many - doesn't make for a functional society.
It's a simple moral issue for me...I am no economist and am not against
"cutting spending" - but perhaps we delve a little deeper and start to
re-evaluate our values and how to make some of the good ideas of health care
for all, a safety net for the elderly, etc. a workable reality.
This table says how the money is being allocated - way too much on war of
course.

You sound really scared. So, how much would reforming the
corporate tax code bring down the federal deficit of $13
trillion?
This idea is not in Obama's recent federal budget. Why not?
