What do you mean by "domestic spending"?

For instance, the US spent $453.7 billion on National Defense in 2004.
 Is that domestic spending, or not?

By the way, the figure above comes from a detailed table of US
government expenses, broken out into dozens of key categories and
programs.  Would that meet your needs as an answer to your question?

Let us know.

That table sounds like it would be helpful.  If you could provide me
that table and a link to the source of the table that would be an
acceptable answer.

Sam,

Here you go:


http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/04statab/fedgov.pdf
Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2004-2005
Federal Government Finances and Employment


There are several tables in this section that detail the expenditures
of the federal goverment:


No. 462. Federal Budget Outlays?Defense, Human and Physical Resources,
and Net Interest Payments: 1990 to 2004


No. 463. Federal Budget Outlays in Constant (1996) Dollars:


No. 464. Federal Outlays by Agency: 1990 to 2004


The greatest level of detail can be found in this next one:


No. 465. Federal Outlays by Detailed Function: 1990 to 2004




I trust that does the trick, but let me know if there's anything else you need.


Cheers,
