In the article "CBO Confirms that Mandatory Spending Drives the Budget Deficit," Ryan Ellis lays out his views on the cause of the budget deficit. He discusses the views of the Democrats, who blame tax cuts, and those of the Republicans, who blame mandatory spending. Ellis's personal views align with those of the Republicans. He believes that too much spending is entirely the cause of the deficit, and that mandatory spending must be decreased. Mandatory spending is spending towards programs called entitlement programs, upon which the government is required to spend. Some of these programs are medicare and social security. The rest of the money, which the government can spend as it sees fit, is called discretionary spending. However, the author does disagree with the Republicans on discretionary spending, which Ellis believes can be increased without leading to tax increases. He then proceeds to describe the decrease in discretionary spending under the Republican-controlled house to show how little its effect on tax rates was. He uses this as proof that mandatory spending is the cause of tax increases. He obviously backs up his point that mandatory spending is the main cause of tax increases, not discretionary spending, but that is because far more money goes to entitlement programs than goes to discretionary programs, and they have been constantly growing. The reason more money goes into entitlement programs is because they are necessary to keep the economy going in times like the recession when the government must step in to help employ people and keep people from starving. It is also true that the government's duty is to serve its people even if it doesn't have to do exactly what they say, so it must do its best to keep its people from starving.
