Here is the scenario....

You are the President of the United States and you have a very agreeable Congress so you virtually get to set the Federal budget.

What percentages would you give each of these things?

-Social Security
-Health Care (Medicare, Medicaid, etc.)
-Education and Training
-Veteran's Benefits
-Natural resources and environment
-Agriculture
-Science and Technology
-Defense
-Unemployment/Welfare
-Interest on National Debt (requires at least 8.5%)
-Transportation
-Administration of Justice (courts, police, etc.)
-Foreign affairs
-Community and Regional Development
-Energy
-General Government (requires at least 1%)

Remember it has to add up to 100% and the minimal Interest on the National Debt and the General Government costs must be met.
 
I hate doing things like this, because it intails defending my opinion on things, which I dislike doing because the arguments go nowhere. But... my T side won't let me walk away from this without applying numbers :D

5% Social Security
10% Health Care (Medicare, Medicaid, etc.)
10% Education and Training
3% Veteran's Benefits
7% Natural resources and environment
3% Agriculture
10% Science and Technology
8% Defense
3% Unemployment/Welfare
10% Interest on National Debt
5% Transportation
2% Administration of Justice
3% Foreign affairs
4% Community and Regional Development
10% Energy
6% General Government
