One of many sources reporting on this analysis of where the #US #taxpayer #dollars were allocated for #2025 tax year. For example:

$4,049 for #weapons and #war, vs. $2,492 for #Medicaid, which provided health insurance to 68.5 million Americans in 2025 — about one in five Americans.

○ $1,870 for #Pentagon #contractors, more than twice as much as the $770 the average taxpayer paid for troops’ pay even as many troops rely on food stamps
