editWhy does government spend more on education .? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A03:2880:31FF:20:0:0:FACE:B00C (talk) 19:22, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
2020 spending breakdown.
editThat chart is absolutely misleading. It has military budget as 10% when it accounted for 713 billion. It claims gov't spending on education was 13% when it when the budget was only 262 billion https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-21-415t https://www.usaspending.gov/agency/department-of-education?fy=2020 75.172.133.105 (talk) 21:36, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- The Dept. of Education budget in the link you provide is only federal spending. This article, and the chart, are total government spending, the bulk of which is done below the federal level. Barnhorst (talk) 19:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
No citation on lead figures
editThe lead figure (2020 mob spending) of the article has no citation. I searched for the source on Google and could not find it. A citation should be added or the figure removed 108.29.111.71 (talk) 03:55, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
