Where do my federal taxes actually go?

Created by G.F. on May 18, 2016

I believe that most (if not ALL Americans) have no idea where their Federal Tax withholding(s) on their paycheck actually go. I know a pie chart on the internet like this exists :http://www.cbpp.org/most-of-budget-goes-toward-defense-social-security-a.... But I would like to see the actual breakdown on my paycheck as to what my bi-monthly paycheck actually funds. Eg. instead of $247.50 Fed W/H I would like to see $52.10 for military/wars, $22.10 interest on national debt, etc
