That is an interesting read. The table has a daunting list of programs. Some thoughts: Medicaid is almost half, then the larger programs are SSI, Earned Income Tax Credit, food stamps, Pell grants. Then it drops way down. 

Hard to know how to cut anything, if that is a goal. Aren't doctors rebelling against taking Medicaid patients because they feel they can't recover costs? Pell grants aren't quite the same level as need as food stamps. Things that seem like hot button issues, like refugee assistance, barely register as an expense compared to the others! I'm surprised that adoption assistance is funded at the same level as school lunches, I guess.

Well, the bell schedule was easier to discuss!
