This is busy, but informative.

Percentage of GDP made up by expenses like government social benefits, wages, grants and much more.

Yep.. And look at what it is being spent on..

- Govt't Wages & Salaries
- Grants
- Social benefits
- Dividends/Rent/Other

i.e., There is little going to actual investment in infrastructure.
