Comment on Chart
Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 month agoIs the chart accurate?
No. It’s outdated, misleading and inaccurate.
Most people don’t realize it but in FY2024 the interest payments on the National Deficit exceeded the entire military budget.

If you don’t like that source then here’s the treasury department itself: fiscaldata.treasury.gov/…/federal-spending/

Yeah, it’s blatantly dishonest for OP’s chart to be labeled “Federal Spending” when it doesn’t include the majority of federal spending categories. Particularly when the goal is for the reader to point at the largest spending category, despite the chart not including the largest spending categories.
