I got a recent overview of the federal budget Bush is proposing. Here it is:
Reciepts: $849.9 billion from individual income tax, $764.4 billion from payroll tax, $169.1 bill. from corporate income tax, and 138.5 bill. from "other" sources
Reciepts total: $1.92 trillion
Spending: $505.5 bill on Medicare/Medicaid/other healthcare programs, $497.3 bill. on Social Security, $390.4 bill on Defense, $387 bill. on Unemployment/Welfare/Veterans, $176.4 bill on debt interest, $113 bill. on highways/environment/ disaster relief/other, $85.5 bill. on Justice/foreign affairs/other, $85.3 bill. on Education/training, and $43.6 bill. on Science/technology/farm
Spending total: $2.23 trillion
I think it's kindof fun to imagine how I'd adjust the budget. What does everyone think?
