[Salon] Fwd: in case you're wondering where your income tax money really goes

I shared this chart with COL Larry Wilkerson, who responded thusly, and gave me permission to share this:  

"I know the chart is bullshit when I see "other military" as $220B.  The VA alone is $242B in FY21.   The chart is a joke.  National Security spending -- in the old Cold War/anti-terror sense -- is topping 60% of Fed expenditures in FY 21."

I thought it was the USPS which took such a large part of the pie, explaining the zealousness of libertarians/ Republican’s to privatize it, and kick a lot of people off mail delivery?
