Original Note:
While excessive fiscal spending can contribute to inflation, stopping "waste" wouldn’t touch the bulk of spending that supports pensions, Medicare, Social Security, and defense. Cutting these areas risks severe social & economic consequences (e.g defaulting on pensions) https://home.treasury.gov/data/receipts-outlays
