Government Spending

Government spending refers to the allocation and disbursement of public funds by federal, state, or local governments to achieve various societal and economic objectives. These expenditures may cover a wide range of activities, such as defense, healthcare, education, public infrastructure, social welfare, and more. Governments acquire these funds mainly through taxation, borrowing, or other revenue streams like royalties and tariffs.

Government spending directly affects the country's economic health and the well-being of its citizens. Voters may evaluate political candidates based on their proposed budgets, spending priorities, and their approach to fiscal responsibility. The position of voters towards government spending can vary. While some voters may advocate for limited government and reduced spending, others may prefer increased investment in social programs and public services.
