How the figures were made
The shares are of the positive part of the obligations. A de-obligation, which cancels or reduces an obligation of an earlier year, lowers the amount of its type but is not a share.
Direct payments include Social Security and Medicare payments. Loans count the subsidy cost, not the face value. The guide to award types gives the five groups.
The table shows activity: the amounts that agencies obligated. It does not grade a recipient, a place or an agency.
Source: USAspending.gov API v2. An obligation is a promise of the government to pay. It is not a payment.
A program makes this page from the USAspending files with fixed sentence rules. See how the atlas is made and the sources and licences.
