Explanation:
The revenue for the government is sourced through taxes. The government spends the tax money in three categories they are compulsory spending, discretionary spending and paying interest on the federal debt.
Mandatory spending by the government includes spending for medical aid, social security and other welfare programs such as unemployment, child nutrition programs, under privileged families etc. Discretionary spending is used for defense and non defense expenses. Non defense expenses are urban development. Veterans and students education are the other programs for which the government spends.
