Hey guys,
Here’s a pretty cool graphic that shows how much we take in and where it is spent. This is a graphic display of the numbers straight from the president’s budget request. Zoom up and pan around, I did for way too long!

most interesting thing to me is that for every billion we spend, $140 million is borrowed!
Haha I’m sure most of you could make a list of a hundred or so things that need to die in a fire
Er… these numbers aren’t adding up.
The numbers for SS and Medicare alone nearly double what they have down for non-Defense spending.
I’m confuse.
…funniest thing to me is that the smallest budget expenditure is for the “Office of Governmental Ethics”
haha

I think that’s because SS is taxed separately. So, it has its own budget

You noticed that too. I got a chuckle.
