U.S. Government shuts down.

[DeeBye]

Every time I watch news coverage of the U.S. shutdown, I wonder about the elephant in the room. They talk about "entitlement" spending like Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security, but when I look at U.S. federal spending, there is a huge piece of the pie that always goes unaddressed.

The elephant in the room is defense spending. Am I the only one seeing this?
