In the Netherlands, these things appear to be a large fraction of the
government budget [0].  E.g.

* Education, culture and science:  44.3/353 = 12%
* ‘Zorg’ (= public hospitals but also other related things):  93.0/353 = 26%
* Infrastructure and ‘waterstaat’: 10.3/353: 2.9%
* ‘Sociale zekerheid’: 94.6/353=27%

That's 67.9%, which seems like a large fraction to me.
