Fed is not "trapped" really. When the SH&T hits the fan the legislative and the executive branch can act and actually reduce spending in real dollars. Cutting the debt/deficit and reducing inflation pressures in the log run.

Sure they could reduce military spending - opps never gonna happen. They could stop funding education, health care, pensions, and everything else. The fact is that The US Federal Gov takes in $5 trillion a year in total receipts. Fact is that the US Feds spend around $7 trillion a year. Doesn't matter who is in power, but the Repubs do spend more, and tax less.
