Cost of the Military. This data set indicates how much money leaves the state in terms of residents' individual income taxes to pay for military spending. In this case, the 'military' is simply defined as the function area (050) 'National Defense' in the federal budget. As such, it does not include other military-related items like financing weapons sales.

Total current expenditures for public elementary and secondary education, grades prekindergarten through grade 12, including ungraded students. Expenditures for equipment, non-public education, school construction, debt financing and community services are excluded from this data item. Expenditures by state governments for and on behalf of LEAs are included in these expenditures, and all other expenditures here. This is the sum of expenditures for Instruction, Support Services, and Non-instructional Services (excluding Community Services) and Direct Program Support (excluding Support for Private school Students), and excludes Property expenditures. These data are taken from the CCD National Public Education Financial Survey.
