All that money to social security, and I know I'll never receive a dime. Thanks a lot, Boomers.

I thought the obama presidency was the most transparent in history? Where was this during those 8 years?

What's pretty interesting is the "Spending by Award" tab.

Income security seems quite high as well. Add that in and we're at 50% of the budget

If you mouse over the blocks it will explain what the spending entails for that particular block.

To me, it's kind of pathetic that transportation is only 2.3 % of the budget. I'm not saying that it should be 23% of the budget like SS, but outside of our major cities, our transportation and infrastructure is severely lacking.

Now I'm hesitant to support a massive spending project, like Trump's 1 trillion dollar plan suggests, but I believe that earmarking at least some form of funding for infrastructure would be beneficial for most people in this country, not just one group.

I'm for digging up both and dragging what is left of them down a gravel road. Neither are worthy of burial.

We spend around the same amount on Medicaid as Medicare. I assume that falls under Health?
