Answer:

  • Public Welfare
  • Elementary and Secondary Education
  • Higher Education
  • Health and Hospitals

Step-by-step explanation:

State and Local Governments are said to have spent around 63% of their budgets on the above listed expenditure areas.

This included 22% going towards Public welfare to fund areas such as Medicare and supplementary income for families in need amongst others.

Around 21% went towards elementary and secondary education which included expenses that have to do with public kindergartens all the way to High school.

A further 10% then goes towards higher education to fund the activities of pubic tertiary institutions.

For the hospitals and the health sector, 10% goes towards the public hospitals, expenditure on private hospitals and the like.
