care to share where you found the graphic? looks like bullshit propaganda to me.

It's only accounting for discretionary spending, but it's accurate enough. Discretionary spending accounts for ~30% of federal spending.

That pie is bullshit from a liberal site. Military is actually less than %20 of the budget and welare and other social bullshit is more than half of the budget.

look up the military budget and any of these services and you will see this pie chart is a lie

>muh discretionary spending chart

I find this thing funny.

VA not being Military.

Probably because most government spending isn't federal.

The food stamp program runs at 107 billion, which is 1.7% of the total 6.7 trillion in US governmental spending in 2016. So the chart is wrong.

The military accounts for 829 billion in spending or about 14%, not 57%. Again, this chart is way off.

>republicans blame food stamps for budget deficit
>look at how small the food stamp budget is, they are wrong

why are you faggots not refuting the first assumption that they blame food stamps for the deficit? literally who has ever said that food stamps are the sole reason we have a deficit? you people are dumber than SJWs sometimes

Friendly reminder Euro cuck socialism can only exist because of Merica protection. When america leaves nato eurocuck budgets will change.
Thanks burger bros

and homogeneity
literally the only countries leftists cite as where socialism "works" are the whitest countries on earth

>honest answer...NO

the military spending is what props up the dollar as the world currency
half of all us dollar are held outside the country

hmmm

Came here to post this. Thanks, Hans.

lol youre so stupid how can your government trust you with a polling card let alone a firearm

Yeah that money doesnt get spent on the military its given to you zionist shekel grabbers

>>honest answer...NO
What do you mean, no?

The military spending of the overall US governmental spending is 14%. It is not 57%. Not sure what your point is.

As to half of all us dollars are held outside the US, guess again. Most dollars are actually in the form of debt. The actual currency in circulation isn't relevant.

This isn't a direct spending chart this is an allocative chart next time use the right fucking chart - this fucking chart.

holy shit fucking explain yourself. this is some quality bait right here m8. go on i'm listening

Foodstamps aren't the only social program and social spending is usually all lumped into one category and it ends up being around 60% of the budget, all spent on parasites

Im in norway right now and it is nowhere near homogenous white populace

mmmmm so much pie

I agree, we spend way too much on defense.

How about the government just not steal that money from it's citizens then? Wouldn't that be better than continuing to steal it and finding something new to waste it on to justify continuing to steal it?

It's propaganda but not bullshit, that's fixed spending for that year, healthcare and stuff like that isn't fixed and is part of another budget, so it's true but misleading.

>Interest on Debt

>chart of federal spending
>discretionary spending only
why are they always so dishonest.

There's a simple way for both people and governments to avoid ever having to pay interest. Namely, live within your means and don't borrow money.

Funny how many people don't bother to do that, and willingly enslave themselves with debt.

Dem republicunts BTFO

Here's what the budget should look like

we should just make it illegal to loan to poorfags at this point.

there's never been a case where loaning money to poorfags actually helps them.

this would include credit cards as well.

>Foodstamps aren't the only social program and social spending is usually all lumped into one category and it ends up being around 60% of the budget, all spent on parasites

What in 474 billion out of 6,659 billion spending for welfare don't you understand? That is 7% for welfare of all US governmental spending.

Then you have 1.3 trillion for pensions which is 20%, 1.4 trillion for healthcare, another 20%+, 1trillion for education or 15%, 269 billion for protection (includes police, courts etc.) or 3.5%, transportation for 300 billion or 4%, general government for 2.5%, cerain other spending items for 7% and interest for another 4.5%

sorry, it's propaganda for simpletons.

>null
>the same as zero

Libertarians everyone

This is a discretionary spending chart, the vast majority of the government funds go towards healthcare and social security, so we need to rework gov. legal obligations to the people if we want to balance the budget

Actually, null is equal to zero in this case. See also Switzerland/Debt Brake

>Better organized chart

That chart is incorrect. Military spending is 16%.

Gibsmedats are 2/3rds of the budget.

I'll never understand how we spend all that money on such shitty government insurance. Someone is scamming somewhere.
