| Notes: National defense category has been adjusted to exclude nuclear weapons and infrastructure costs. Nuclear weapons costs are a combination of actual and estimated expenditures. Program totals do not match overall total because of rounding and the addition of undistributed off-setting receipts (not shown). a. Total = $51,557,983,000,000 b. Income security as defined by the Office of Management and Budget includes programs such as federal employee retirement and disability, unemployment compensation, housing assistance, and other "welfare" programs.
