I don't think I have ever seen the Amercian budget in chart form like this before. I thought I would share the link so people can get an idea of where the national income comes from and where it goes.

Looks like the two biggest expenses are the military and entitlement programs such as medicare, medicaid, and social security.

Also, this seems to be the "official" military spedning number, but I think there are a lot of supplemental and off budget military programs. I wonder how these are paid for?
