It consists primarily of benefit programs such as: social security, Medicare, Medicaid, as well as other programs. Discretionary spending consists of spending controlled by lawmakers through annual appropriation acts. In FY 2022 it is proposed at 1.69 trillion U.S. dollars, and is divided into defense and nondefense spending. Spending for net interest is also listed, which consists of the government's interest payments on debt held by the public, offset by interest income the government receives.
