For each dollar of federal income tax we pay in 2011, the government spends about:

• 39¢: Pentagon spending for current & past wars
• 20¢: Health care
• 16¢: Responding to poverty
• 12¢: General government
• 9¢: Supporting the economy
• 3¢: Energy, science and environment
• 2¢: Diplomacy, development and war prevention
