The correct answers are the national defense, which recorded record spending in 2012 at $ 703 billion, which adjusted for inflation was the highest since the second world, and social security, which is traditionally a costly segment given the demographic characteristics of the country, with spending of $ 800 billion that serves 56 million Americans and accounts for about 1/5 of government spending and about 5% of GDP.
