Reform Thursday: Chart Eight.

Thursdays are good days for reform, because they fall between Wednesdays and Fridays.

That's why WILLisms.com will display a chart or graph, every Thursday, pertinent to Social Security reform. The graphics are mostly self-explanatory, but we include commentary on some of them where necessary.

Previous Reform Thursday graphics can be seen here:

-Week One.

-Week Two.

-Week Three.

-Week Three, bonus.

-Week Four.

-Week Five.

-Week Six.

-Week Seven.

-Week Seven, bonus.

Today's graphic comes to us from April 9, 2003 Testimony before the Ways and Means Committee of the United State House of Representatives:

With all the talk about getting a handle on government spending, increasingly the spending is on entitlements, not discretionary spending. Even eliminating all pork from the budget would hardly put a dent in spending, relative to the enormous programs of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

We applaud the Social Security reformers for taking on the task of at least one entitlement, that behemoth of mandatory spending, Social Security, because in the future, without reform, it will only continue to burgeon into a further unmanageable beast.

Tune into WILLisms.com each Thursday for more important supporting data supporting Social Security reform.
