This infographic displays the stream of $4.8 trillion dollars in public funds proposed by the 2020 U.S. Federal Budget. Congress is at the top because the approval and distribution of taxpayer dollars requires their authorization. Once approved this money supports numerous public programs and private businesses within every sector of the U.S. economy.
This massive sum of money, and all the sectors that will benefit from it, is difficult to conceptualize. This is where this government spending from public to private sectors infographic becomes extremely helpful. Data driven research runs this illustration and shows a breakdown of what every sector will receive. These federally funded programs and sectors are also at risk. The risk is in the form of government fraud and abuse. Following the flow of government spending, mandatory or discretionary, leads to government program fraud as well. Each sector is at risk but most people can not comprehend the sheer number of sectors involved.
