Military spending is at $700 billion Not that's ever actually been spent. It might rise to that level, but the feds have never spent that in a year. A breakdown of spending can be found here. Politifact Thats funny. Your using a link to support your claim that is actually calling the claim From your own link "...For instance, the pie chart significantly understates the amount of spending going to health and energy. More problematic, though, is that the pie chart ignores mandatory spending. About 60 percent of all federal spending is considered mandatory, with 34 percent considered discretionary and 6 percent devoted to interest. In other words, the chart, despite referring broadly to "federal spending," only counts about one-third of federal spending..." politifact.com emphasis added
