I believe that Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security make up close to 50% of the government's budget. Put military spending in there, and I'd be surprised if it didn't go over 75%.
- rayiner 7y agoNote that at all levels of government, spending is close to $7 trillion annually, with only $4 trillion from the federal government. Medicare and SS are together about $1.5 trillion. Defense is about $700 billion. Roads, education, schools, etc., make up most of the $3 trillion state spending.
