In 2011, 20 percent of the budget, or $718 billion, paid for defense and security-related international activities. Another 20 percent of the budget, or $731 billion, paid for Social Security, which provided retirement benefits averaging $1,229 per month to 35.6 million retired workers in December 2011. Three health insurance programs - Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) - together accounted for 21 percent of the budget in 2011, So, Just as 50 mm does not equal 50 cal I hope you realize Defense spending equals health insurance (medicare medicaid) and is not insignificant in comparision. Actual welfare and all discretionary spending foodstamps etc is 13%.
