Welfare was slashed to the bone under Clinton. The largest expansion of gub'mnt care costs was under Bush when he expanded prescription drug care to the elderly.

Another $1 Trillion (not Billion, Trillion) is estimated for veterans care for those who were hurt in the endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not a year... 1 trillion over 55 years (or what ever it is) isn't that much.
