Military, government agencies, interest payments, just look it up

>> No.180890

Military, Social Services, Medicare, every other pointless program created by each party. Also goes towards the debts banks get, paying the mortgage for poor people, handing money to kids who abuse financial aid, etc.

where the funding is spent departmentally is easy enough to find

I think the real question is how much is actually spent on the government objective and how much gets eaten up in administrative fees and lining government officials and their friend's and lobbyists pockets

they use it to kill brown people in other countries while giving it to brown people in our country

They didn't show the interest that tax dollars go to pay off on there either:

US gov't has 3 categories of spending:

>Discretionary
>Mandatory
>Interest

Even if the entire discretionary budget was scrapped the total amount of tax dollars collected couldn't pay for both the "Mandatory" and Interest spending.

That is perhaps the most unreadable pie charts I have ever seen in my life. I would expect no less from the United States federal government.

It doesn't even label the chart sections or put numbers next to the legend, so extracting any information becomes a color matching game.

No shit. Looking at the chart, you have to count the sections or match the repeating colors to the list if you want to identify something. Likewise in reverse to find something on thr chart.

Jesus, you two. It's not that hard. Maybe they should have pumped some of those tax dollars into your schools.

This chart makes me so angry, though. When I see what our taxes could be and how high they are instead. Bitches be like, "muh roads, though." Roads costs so little, by comparison.
