What is the breakdown of the US federal budget?
The federal government spent $6.5 trillion in FY 2022 — or $19,434 per person — including funds distributed to states. Medicare, Social Security, defense and veterans, transfers to states, and aid such as SNAP and refundable tax credits were the biggest categories, accounting for 75% of spending.
