Obama’s 2011 Budget Proposal: How It’s Spent

Rectangles in the chart are sized according to the amount of spending for that category. Color shows the change in spending from 2010.

Chart shows funds authorized to be spent each fiscal year. It does not show "off-setting receipts" — items like postage stamp sales, park fees, Medicare prescription drug premiums and federal agency contributions to employee retirement plans — that are counted as negative budget authority. Off-setting receipts are included in the totals for each category. Chart breakdown is by function, not agency.
