- belovedeagle 9y agoYep, that first number is way too high since the federal government doesn't need to be involved with those things.
- jacobn 9y agoMost educational spending is state/local. In 2012 they spent ~1/3 of ~$2.6T = $826B, which corresponds to 21.5% of the federal budget. http://www.urban.org/policy-centers/cross-center-initiatives/state-local-finance-initiative/projects/state-and-local-backgrounders/state-and-local-expenditures http://www.urban.org/policy-centers/cross-center-initiatives...
