  • Mandatory Spending.  % of GDP spend:  1960...34%;  1970...41%;  1980....52%;  1990...63%; and 2000...71%. 
  • Military Spending....in the 1960 we spent 10% of GDP on the military.  Now 3-4%.
  • Major changes.  Need.......1.  Case for change  2.  Present a plan that  people believe will work and 3.  The plan needs to be "fair."  Fair needs to consider:

    • How do we treat current receipts? 

    • How gradually or rapidly to make the changes?

    • How broadly or narrowly do you want changes to take place?  Spread the burden?

    • Provide a series of outlet values?

    • Formulas that make adjustments automatically with trends?

JFK Quote...encouraging leaders to be forward looking.  "All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin."
