Spending that is required by law is known as mandatory spending. Over 60% of the federal budget is allotted for mandatory spending. The US spends a lot on programs for Medicare and Social Security which account for 40% of this total mandatory spending. This is to ensure that the rights of American citizens for good health and security is highly considered by the American government.
