    If you live in the US: https://www.usaspending.gov/

    If not, search for a “your country budget breakdown”. Most democratic nations will have a similar publication.

    My take after looking it over, it’s boring. We spend money on medical care, defense, and interest payments. That’s where most all of the money goes. The benefits we receive from that money are things we completely take for granted, it’s easy to not notice them but you sure would notice if it stopped.
