We are not in this mess because of Social Security, which has a 2 trillion dollar Surplus.

We are not in this mess because of Medicare/Medicaid, because far too few people are covered under these programs.

We are in this mess because of Defense spending(wars), Tax cuts, and Bailouts.

They are the real Axis of Evil.
