Do you really know where your federal tax bux go? Probably not. This is a great image of how the federal budget breaks down and where it really goes. Did you know that we spend more on military spending ($399 billion) than all other things combined including all all operations of Dep't of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, Dep't. of Agriculture, Public Housing, national parks, elementary education, secondary education, higher education, FBI, federal prisons, Global AIDS Initiative, National Science Foundation and hundreds more.
