Noteable trends 1960-2025: 🟢National defense: 50% down to 13% 🟣Health: 5% up to 30% 🔴Interest payments: roughly stable over time 10-20% peaking 80s and 90s and lower now

Calling back to my last post; At both the Federal and Individual level, health expenditure as a percent of total expenditure is now #1 In the past health was not nearly as significant of an expense. The average American spends more on health than rent, and the Federal govt. spends more on health than National Defense and Interest payments combined
