Don&#x27;t guess when the actual 2015 budget is a single search away:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalpriorities.org&#x2F;budget-basics&#x2F;federal-budget-101&#x2F;spending&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalpriorities.org&#x2F;budget-basics&#x2F;federal-bud...</a><p>Your $1.5T number for military isn&#x27;t backed up by facts as the <i>entire</i> discretionary spending for all agencies is only $1.1T<p>US per capita healthcare spending - do you mean Medicare and Medicaid? I&#x27;m not sure how you came up with this number because $8.6k * 320M people = $2.75T which would be about 66% of the federal budget.<p>Social Security itself is closer to 33% of the federal budget, not the 24% you cite.
