Spending on Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps totals ~$2.6T annually (CBO FY2025), directly increasing outlays and deficits. Tax expenditures, including business write-offs, cost ~$2.3T in forgone revenue, but those specifically for wealthy/business expansion (e.g., depreciation, R&D credits) are under $500B. Thus, entitlement spending adds more to the debt.
