The government spends a lot of money, that much is for sure, but if the amount was divided among every citizen in America, how much would it be? The answer comes out to a little over 20 thousand dollars per person. Healthcare and pensions account for the largest portion of government expenditures, together costing about 8,000 dollars per person in 2015.
