  That's not accounting for payroll taxes like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid -- right? Because those, combined with debt service, make up a HUGE portion of the federal budget.

  yeah that is out of the discretionary budget, which is roughly a fourth of the total budget. the government also spends more money than it collects in taxes, so the 60% figure doesn't have much to do with what fraction of your tax dollars actually get spent on the military.
