Federal agencies by share of federal budget

This agency's budget authority as a share of all federal budget authority. USAspending reports it as a fraction; it is multiplied by 100 here and stored as a percentage, which is the only arithmetic applied to it.

98 federal agencies report this measure and are ranked against each other — never against hospitals, school districts, public schools, which report different things entirely.
