We used [data ](https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/historical-tables/)from the White House and used GGplot2 in R to create a detailed look at how U.S. federal spending has evolved from 1940 to 2023, broken down by major categories like Social Security, National Defense, Medicare, and more. You can see the rise in health and income security spending over time, It’s fascinating to observe how our priorities have shifted over the years. Data from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). What stands out to you the most?”
The U.S. government is basically a huge insurance company for old people with a military side arm
Wonder what that big dip Social Security spending was from in 2020/2021 area.
3 slightly different colors of orange makes this hard to read, great content though.
Fascinating. Social Security kind stabilized as a share back around 1975
I wonder what the difference between health and medicare. I’m guessing federal workers retirement healthcare and, maybe pensions also?
