Question

Where does the money that the government spends on national security come from? (1 point)
donations from the private sector
• sales of goods and services
• taxing and borrowing
other areas of the budget

Answer 1

The money that the government spends on national security primarily comes from **taxing and borrowing**. This includes revenue generated from various taxes (income tax, corporate tax, etc.) and funds that may be borrowed through the issuance of government bonds. Other options, like donations from the private sector or sales of goods and services, do not typically constitute a primary source of funding for national security expenditures.
