Federal Spending Cuts?

the last time federal outlays decreased was

1965

wow

46 years since outlays decreased
but I keep hearing about spending cuts?
where are the cuts?

I think there have been no cuts, only increases for 46 years
and they still talk about cuts
what fools we mortals be!

so in 1964 outlays were $118,528,000,000
in 1965 outlays were $118,228,000,000
for a cut of $300,000,000
three hundred million! wow! big cut!

2010 outlays , $3,720,701,000,000
three trillion seven hundred twenty billion

this amount is more than 30 times what was spent in 1965

I would like to see a real cut again. A year when they actually spend less.
Real people have that happen. Sometimes they spend less, sometimes income goes down and they spend less

but government.....??
