    Makes me wonder where all that money is going?

    Scroll down to spending categories. Most money is spent on things like social security, medicare, veteran care, unemployment insurance, and health. Defense is 13% (and absolutely needs to be audited ASAP). Interest payments on debt is now 13% and growing fast. This is why it’s important to at least reduce the deficit as fast as possible. Imagine how much good the government could do with another $400B each year without those interest payments. (well, maybe not this government, but the next one).

      Since this shows spending since 2024 oct it would mostly relate to spending in the government before actually wouldn’t it? I am more interested in what they are going to do with all the influx of money that will come from all the funding cuts that have happened in the last month or so.
