It’s going to be less than 4% which includes all food and agriculture. That would include food safety, subsidies and other economic incentives for farmers, and other programs that work to boost food production.
Also, a budget deficit isn’t bad. The government creates money (with the press of a keystroke) and issues it by spending it. Just like with physical dollars, as the population and the economy grow more money is needed. Creating too much can create inflation, but growth is normal and healthy. In a sense our government doesn’t need our taxes to fund anything- money comes from government spending and ends up in our hands and is then taxed and owed back to the government. Taxes are needed to create value of the dollar and to regulate the account of money in circulation which is what this post about.
