• The world spent more money than ever on its militaries in 2022, a new report found.
• The US spent $877 billion in 2022, which accounts for almost 40 percent of all spending.
• By comparison, the US government allocated just $76.4 billion for education in 2022.

The world's governments are spending more money than ever on their militaries, a new report finds. And, to no one's surprise, the United States leads them all.

The United States spent a total of $877 billion on its military in 2022, according to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, or SIPRI, which maintains a database on military spending around the world.

That's almost 40% of total global military spending and possibly as much as three times more than the second-biggest spender, China — though it's hard to know for sure how much China is spending.

"In 2022 the USA allocated $295 billion to military operations and maintenance, $264 billion to procurement and research and development, and $167 billion to military personnel," the report says.

By comparison, the US government allocated just $76.4 billion in discretionary spending for education that same year. That means the United States is spending more than 10 times as much on its military than it is on its education. The Biden administration has requested $90 billion for education in 2024 and $842 billion for defense.

Total global military spending reached an all-time high in 2022, the report found. Governments shelled out about $2.24 trillion. That's a 3.7% increase from 2021, which was the biggest year-on-year increase in more than 30 years.

European countries saw the largest increases in spending, driven in large part by Russia's invasions of Ukraine in February last year. The report found that, in real terms, European military spending had returned to levels not seen since the Cold War.

"The continuous rise in global military expenditure in recent years is a sign that we are living in an increasingly insecure world," Nan Tian, a senior researcher at SIPRI, wrote in the report. "States are bolstering military strength in response to a deteriorating security environment, which they do not foresee improving in the near

It's just the usual ignorance of how the 50 states are like individual countries and how they themselves are the chief payers for education not the Federal Government.

What America Spends on K-12: The Latest Federal Snapshot

About 93 percent of K-12 spending came from state and local sources in 2019-20—but more-recent year totals will reflect federal relief aid.

www.edweek.org

America invested $795 billion in local, state, and federal money on its K-12 public schools for the 2019-20 school year, according to new annual federal school spending data released Wednesday. That figure is roughly comparable to the federal government’s $700 billion defense budget that year, and represents a 1.5 percent increase in overall school district revenue compared with the previous fiscal year.

Also note this doesn't include the money state governments paid on their higher education institutions...just the K-12!

Edit:
Add another $112 Billion for the state payouts for high ed.

State Support For Higher Education Tops $112 Billion, Up More Than 6% Over Last Year

State support for higher education reached $112.3 billion for fiscal year (FY) 2023, a 6.6% increase over 2022. In the past five years, state support for higher education has increased 27.5%. The FY 23 level marks only the second time this support has topped $100 billion.

Dude, whoever made your graph does not know shit about US education system.

First of all, Education are supported by School District, which operated by state and operate all school in that state, those would have been the biggest output of education, not federal funding.

For example, NY School budget in 2022 is 34 billions dollars

NY boosts school spending to $34 billion, despite lackluster results: report

New York spends nearly twice the national average on school aid per student — “without delivering above-average results in achievement,” budget watchdogs said Monday.

And that's one state, and that also just included state funded education, there are private funded school, religious school.

Secondly, Federal funding usually for teacher training, teaching infrastructure, scholarship, and only between 8-10% of all education revenue
