The UK budget

Every government deals with money in a different way. In this pie chart we will see the UK budget in 1996.

First, let us start with the biggest segment. We will notice that the UK government spent a lot of money on social security which is £ 100 billion and we will see that the government spent on it more than what it spent on education, defense, and industry together, because the government spent around £ 38 billion on education and £ 22 billion on defence and £ 13 billion on industry, so if we add the three sections together the social security is much more. The pie chart also shows us that the government spent around £ 53 billion on the health and personal social services which is nice in my opinion. Also you can see that the transport takes £ 9 billion and £ 17 billion for law and order. Finally, the housing and environment takes £ 15 billion and the government spent around £ 25 billion on debt interest and £ 23 billion in other expenditure.

In conclusion the total UK budget is £ 315 billion. In my opinion, I think that the government must spend more money on employment.
