Will they freeze him à la Demolition Man?

Seriously though, here are some neat facts about FEDERAL income tax expenditures from CNBC. Fun little pie chart to see how much of your $ went toward: http://www.nationalpriorities.org/taxchart2008/

42.2¢ of every dollar funds the military.
22.1¢ funds health care.
10.2¢ pays interest on non-military debt.
8.7¢ funds anti-poverty programs.
4.4¢ funds education, employment training, social services.
3.9¢ funds the running of government & law enforcement.
3.3¢ funds housing assistance and community development programs.
2.6¢ funds environmental programs, energy exploration and any programs that deal with general science, technology and space.
1.5¢ funds agriculture and transportation spending.
funds international relations (foreign humanitarian assistance, conduct of foreign affairs and international financial programs).
