Entitlement spending is even more than war spending. A lot of this is going to medical care, which is mostly a scam. Since about 100 years ago the Rockefeller and Carnegie institute has taken over treatment of disease and made it about prescribing drugs and expensive procedures. As a result of this, we don't have cures or solutions, but simply treatments that require repetitive payment and expensive procedures that often times just cut a part out. Allopathic doctors (MD) are really good at surgery and keeping people alive. If you need something reattached or need to be put back together or if you're dying, a hospital or surgeon is who you need. Outside of that, though, they are completely ignorant and baffled by the causes of chronic health problems. They've got some big pharma pills they can prescribe you, though. This will make the symptoms go away without solving the underlying cause of the problem, and then you'll get side effects from the pills. This will give you another problem that they've got some more pills for. Before long you'll be jacked up on 10 medications you're taking constantly. Naturopathic practitioners understand the root cause of a lot of chronic health problems to be a lack of vitamins, minerals, and other things your body needs. Calcium is a common one, and there are many others. They also have highly effective herbs. Certain people will go on and on about a certain vitamin or mineral, but the truth is that you need all of them. They also tend to work in conjunction with each other.
