Question

Answer 1

When looking at this question think about the different parts of the Preamble.

Establish Justice,

Insure domestic tranquility,

provide for the common defense,

promote the general Welfare,

and secure the Blessings of Liberty

Does the federal government use their budget to provide for all of these? Roughly 15% of the federal budget is spent on on defense, meaning the military. Medicare and other health make up of 27% Social security makes up about 30% and everything else in falls into that other 28% ish. Meaning schools, transportation, new discoveries, foreign aid, is paid for in the other 28%.
