Sessions Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:19:59 +0000 http://jaredbernsteinblog.com/?p=3701#comment-97489 Don’t forget to preserve the growth of “other security:” all that stuff that we got with the PATRIOT Act.

However, assuming no reductions to Medicare and Social Security means 30% and up reductions in other nondefense nonsecurity spending.

So where’s the downside?
