Where your money goes

You can zoom in on every part and look at the details. No big surprises there for me. National security and social security take the lion share. The rest is peanuts compared to these two.
Why you need a military and a non military national security discretionary is beyond my understanding. If you put it all under one hat, you should be able to optimize things quite a bit.

Why you need a military and a non military national security discretionary is beyond my understanding.

Consider it external (military) and internal (non-military) security. The military is effectively banned from operating inside the US.

This is only the discretionary budget. The non-discretionary budget (like welfare and pork projects, etc.) that don't need to be re-budgeted every year, don't show up on this, and exceed the discretionary budget by almost 2:1. That's right, $2T that no one even gets to vote on any more.

The military taking the lion's share is only of the Discretionary pie. It represents only about 16-18% of the total budget, while various welfare and social projects take up over 56%.

The whole chart is fundamentally misleading.
