Although not quite exact, here's spending data for 2024 (https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/static-data/published-report...) - about 14% of tax dollars went to defence, 0.14*17000=2380. | ||

That’s just federal spending. $17,000 sounds too high to just be federal taxes, it looks like federal + state/local. Accounting for that, military spending is closer to 10%. | ||
