I dont know the exact amount spent on each. But I can tell you that the national debt is now around $8,000,000,000,000 and that every day the US government spends roughly one billion dollars on the military alone. By the way, all this money, the government is borrowing it from China. Sorry I cant help you anymore than that.\n\n\npeace

Federal payments for healthcare via the Medicaid system totaled 275billion in 2003 which are the most recent numbers I have.  It’s also important to remember in terms of tax dollars being spent you can about double whatever the Feds spent in matched state funds. Medicaid expenditures were rising at a rate of about 10% per year between 01-03.\n\nHope that helps,\nArmus

No, in 2004 it was $20.67 billion, which is a relatively small portion of the overall budget.  Of that money, only 12.3% went to countries for humanitarian purposes (and that is according to the government's own figures).  For more info, you can take a look at this report.  At the end there are some tables that show trends and amounts of foreign aid and what percentage of foreign aid goes to what:\nhttp://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/trade/files/98-916.pdf

My wife and I were talking about the same thing the other night.  \nPoliticians spend $2.6 BILLION on this past election.  What kind of programs could of that funded?  We have people living on the streets!  \n\nBut it's keeping your face in the public eye.  Think about when you look at a ballot.  How much do you know about the Green party candidate?  It's who has the most money.  \n\nAnd think about it - if Devos spent $40 million, the job only pays $172,000 per year!  That's like buying a 1979 Chevy Chevette for $300,000!  But it's not about money, it's about power.

American Private Giving Outpaces U.S. Government Aid, Report Says\n"Washington -- The U.S. private sector donates to international causes at a level nearly four times the amount spent by the U.S. government. Called the Index on Global Philanthropy, the report tallies $71 billion in international donations by U.S. private charities, religious organizations, universities, corporations, foundations, and immigrants sending money home for the year of 2004 (the latest year available).\n\n"That compares to $20 billion in government foreign aid for the same year.  The Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranks the United States as the biggest donor of government foreign aid among developed countries in terms of total dollars given.  \n\n"In another measurement, OECD figures each country’s aid as a percentage of its gross national income, which puts the United States second-to- last -- with 0.17 percent of its GNI given as foreign aid."\n\nCOST OF IRAQ WAR TO DATE  $275,670,000,000.

Hmm.. 44 billion dollars, 6.5 billion people, You  have under $7 per person to work with, so there is little you can do that will change the whole word by spending the money on individual people.\n\nI would plow the money into research, targeted at improving agriculture, health, and education. I would try to leverage the 44 billion by seeking matching grants and by seeking programs that are currently in progress but in need of additional funds.

In 2003, health care spending in the United States reached $1.7 trillion, and was projected to reach $1.8 trillion in 2004. \n\nHealth care spending is 4.3 times the amount spent on national defense. \n\nIn 2003, the United States spent 15.3 percent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on health care.

Jeb has signed the bill.  The state's intangibles tax on stocks and investments, worth about $131-million annually, has been eliminated starting in 2006-07; the budget includes money to provide merit pay for teachers; and it sets aside $735-million for environmental lands and Everglades restoration and $390-million for Bush's economic development initiatives.\n\nHope this helps!
