What is our country spending our money on?

Question

where is all of our country's money being spent on? Is part of it spent on the war on drugs?

Answer 1

In 2007, the government spend 21% of the money on Social Security, another 21% on Medicare/Medicaid, 20% on Defense and 9% on paying the interest on the national debt.  The other 29% was spent on everything from school lunches, to roads, education, farm subsidies, science, etc.

Answer 2

$3,000 Billion (3 Trillion) budget breaks down like this

$670 = 'Government Pensions' including social security,federal employee pensions

$680 = 'Health Care' medicare & medicaid

$105 = 'Education'

$730 = 'Defense'

$270 = 'Welfare' - unemployment, foodstamps

$50 = 'Civil Protection' police,courts,prisons

$80 = Transportation ground & air

$20 = General Government

$90 = 'Other' ,Agriculture, research , community development

$250 = Interest on national debt

An estimated 66% is unconstitutional programs that should be eliminated. This would bring us back to a 1990 budget, but imagine the massive benefit to the economy if taxpayers could keep 66% of what they are currently paying.
