Not sure where this parade report gets their figures on though. Social Security spending is not part of the Federal budget (3.0 trillion) either.

I'd be interested in seeing numbers that show the budget at 3 trillion...
and how SS is not part of federal budget....
Edit...okay techinically SS is not part of budget...but nonetheless...the money comes in and is paid out..it's not part of the general fund...but it is part of what could be considered a budget...and from what I understand the money is spent elsewhere...even if illegal...maybe it's a misconception...but...
