I have showed in this report that the spending for Band has been relatively averaged out from 1970-2013 and as well for each program
in Band which includes General Government-Spending, Other-Spending, and Welfare-Spending. With this information citizens can begin
moving on to more in depth question such as: Why have we not lowered, increased or elimnated the percentage spent on these
programs? Are these programs being funded by fewer, more or the same amount of tax paying citizens? Considering we are spending
Conclusion:
the same percentage on these programs have the quality of these programs increased or decreased? Why?
