Just a note that pie charts are not well regarded in this application.

Stephen Few, “Save the Pies for Dessert” (https://www.perceptualedge.com/articles/visual_business_inte...)

Edward Tufte, “The only worse design than a pie chart is several of them.”

The “1% other” is more compelling.

sad, the spending chart doesn't load in my version of firefox, and both links in the caption also have page-load issues. very sad.

Yes, that's the point. Not "this is so cheap it's irrelevant" but "this is an important resource worth funding".

Is the suggestion that social security (a (progressive) program where people largely pay in) should be replaced with a welfare type program? Or if we're just talking about biggest expenditures, things like the 1) Medicare, 2) other gov health spending, and 3) interest paid on the debt are far larger than the item your comment mentioned.

A program that is only used by poor people will immediately be scrapped. Never underestimate the seething hatred that the middle class has for the underclass. Besides all that social security money goes straight into the economy.

It serves a lot more than just the citizens of the US, for what it's worth.

Looking at the 2024 to 2025 archive, it's around 1TB/year:

If that's true, something has clearly gone wildly wrong with the, most likely several, departments involved/created with maintaining this. I suspect if you look at the breakdown, it's 90% administrative costs, with the rest being inflated Cisco contracts, or whatever other parasite latched on.

As others have said, it's been archived already.

Would have been nice if DOGE had worked on stuff like this instead of performative cruelty.
