General Tips for Carving Beef. 1  A beef roast should be allowed to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving so that the juices are reabsorbed into the meat. 2  Don't try carving a beef roast in the roasting pan or on a platter. 3  In order to carve beef properly, a sharp knife must be used.  Use a meat fork to hold the roast in place during the carving. The beef should be carved across the grain, which makes the resulting slices more tender. Tender cuts of beef can be cut into slices of any thickness, but tougher cuts should be carved into thin slices.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that Social Security spending will rise from 4.8% of GDP in 2009 to 6.2% of GDP by 2035, where it will stabilize. However, CBO expects Medicare and Medicaid to continue growing, rising from 5.3% GDP in 2009 to 10.0% in 2035 and 19.0% by 2082.
Rather than the federal budget being dominated by the military, the budget is actually dominated by spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. In fact. the ratio of military spending to food and agriculture spending in the full budget is 4-to-1, rather than 57-to-1. A more accurate representation would be this one: Our ruling. A social-media meme says that 57 percent of federal spending goes to the military and just 1 percent goes to food and agriculture, including food stamps.
