File talk:U.S. Federal Spending - FY 2011.png

Whoever creates these each year, thanks! However, do you think you could separate medicaid from medicare? I believe there's an important distinction, in that medicare is a nondiscretionary entitlement, while medicaid is discretionary spending. 207.172.223.247 (talk) 00:28, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

FY 2011 in filename
Hi, I think this pie chart is great, and the "FY 2011" in the filename was great when it was created, but I find it to be confusing for subsequent years. Can the filename be updated to either not include the FY or include the correct FY? Thanks.Doanstafford (talk) 04:55, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so, I've put in a request for a rename. --The Human Spellchecker (talk) 18:47, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Describe more precisely where the data is
I followed the link to the CBO. There is an enormous writeup there, with tons of attachments. I looked in a couple, and could not find numbers that exactly match these. I am not saying these are wrong, but it is not obvious to me whether they are wrong or right. dfrankow (talk) 21:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added details to the summary page to explain exactly which tab to grab the numbers from.Farcaster (talk) 23:18, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comparing the numbers, I believe the "April 2014" note was incorrect, as that doesn't even have numbers for 2014. It matched the numbers from the January 2015 report, so I've updated it to that. --The Human Spellchecker (talk) 18:46, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
