That's the federal budget. Aren't things like road or education typically part of the state/city budgets? I'm not American, but I used to live in NYC, and thus paid my taxes there. I was always under the impression that: federal budget is for the armies/FBI/CIA/NSA/FDA and other three letters agencies. On the other hand state taxes, city taxes, and sales taxes are for roads, schools, hospitals, firefighters, police and the MTA. I'm surprised the federal budget even has a line item for Education, or Housing & Community!
