I'm not trying to take credit for this but I did suggest in at least a couple of posts the last few weeks that networks should be hosting president debates made up of the third party candidates. Because we do need more choice in this huge country of 320M people, thats as politically diverse as we are and are all over the political spectrum.

CBPP: Policy Basics: Where Do Our Federal Tax Dollars Go?

Source:CBPP- talking about the U.S. Federal budget.

"The Center's Tax Policy Analyst, Chye-Ching Huang, and Director of Federal Tax Policy, Chuck Marr, discuss where our federal tax dollars go.  Topics include defense and international security assistance, Social Security, and health insurance and safety net programs.  

Chuck Marr, "Obviously, paying taxes is an obligation.  It's not always fun.  But I think as you've seen in this video if you step back and think about where your tax dollars go -- whether it's for gear for a soldier, whether it's to provide a new hip to an elderly person, or a college scholarship to a kid to be the first person in his family to go to college -- I think you'll feel a little bit better."

From the Center On Budget & Policy Priorities

Our Federal tax revenue goes to pay for defense, entitlements, and payments to on our national debt. Thats what most of the Federal budget funds, with money left over to cover things like education, agriculture assistance, environmental protection, and other programs.
