Cbpp.org / Policy Basics: Where Do Our Federal Tax Dollars Go? Rep. Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 12 Apr. 2013. Web. 2 Nov. 2013.
The report I annotated was from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which gathers data from the Office of Management and Budget about areas of government spending and releases it to the public. The most important parts of this article are the data on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and National Debt payments. These all give precise data on how much money was spent and what percentage of the budget it was spent on. A negative though is that it is last year’s data, since we haven’t finished 2013 yet. I plan to use this data in my research to show a correlation between money spent on these programs and how the U.S economy benefited or suffered from such spending.
