The "Sacred Cows"
​of Government

Savin' 'the Budget
​by Butcherin' the Beef!

Picture
So…we’re about $18,000,000,000,000 in debt. And it’s all because of those darned “sacred cows”! 
  1. Entitlements / mandatory spending on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and other forms of health care
  2. Low taxes that all Americans enjoy!
Just look at the cartoon above! So…what can we do? What should we do? OR! does our debt even matter? You'll be examining the three (3) "sacred cows" of government...
  1. Health care (in the form of Medicare, Medicaid, and others)
  2. Social Security
  3. Low taxes
...and expressing your understanding through various displays of knowledge and solutions offered.
