Non-Defense Discretionary Spending in 2007
This chart illustrates the broad categories of spending for the Non-Defense portion of the Discretionary Spending category. [Discretionary Spending consists of two major components: Defense ($549 billion for 2007) and Non-Defense ($493 billion for 2007)]. Said another way, these are the amounts that the federal government spends on items other than entitlement programs, interest on the national debt and defense. Many of these categories are discussed separately in the Challenges section of this web site.
