- luckylion 7y ago> Of which the airport was probably a tiny fraction of a percent. And it's also just a tiny fraction of a percent of all the things where money is wasted. > Most of the money is spent on pensions, education, healthcare and other benefits. Healthcare isn't a federal expense, you'll pay an additional 15% of income (both parts) for that. Pensions are also an additional expense, the federal government only subsidizes it. 12% of the federal budget goes to the military - which looks more and more to be on a similar level of inefficiency to BER.
