?Today, federal spending accounts for more than 20% of GDP. About
one-third of that spending, $818 billion in FY2005, is devoted to
Social Security and Medicare - programs aimed at senior citizens, the
disabled and children and spouses of deceased workers (see above
chart).
Spending on 'national defense' (a government definition) amounts to
20% of total federal spending. This does not include, however, foreign
military financing grants, other military assistance, or other
military-related expenditures.
(?)
The federal government contributes very little to education,
contributing only about 8% of total spending (local, state and
federal) on elementary and secondary education. Total education
spending, including higher education, consumes less than 3% of the
federal budget.?
