[Oe List ...] Federal budget

[R Williams]

The key for me is what the US spends on war/defense compared to what the rest of the whole inhabited earth spends.  The story is that the US spends more than all the rest of the nations combined, but I have not seen the actural numbers.

Hmmm—in the first link below, the Health and Human Services budget is shown at $900 billion, with $719 billion for Defense Department (of which $200 billion is for defense efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen)--which is inconsistent with the chart below, in particular the $600 billion for “all other departments”.
 
I wonder how much of the Defense budget is for personnel and how much for defense systems.  When I have time I’ll try to ferret that out.

Here’s a chart for 2010 just considering “discretionary spending.” People go both ways on whether Social Security is part of the Federal Budget.
 
On Thursday February 26th, the US Federal Budget for 2010 was released. In a sea of 140 pages, there was over $600 billion going to defense and roughly another $600 billion going towards all other departments and programs. Obama forecasts a $1.75 trillion deficit increase but for the overall US deficit to be halved by the end of his term, partially through $989 billion in new taxes. (Guess what’s happening to the new taxes.)
