Fun fact: from FY 2016 to FY 2021, according to figures from the New York City Independent Budget Office that have subsequently been adjusted for inflation, DOE expenditures have increased 14%, while NYPD expenditures have decreased 8% (although to be fair, if we looked at FY 2020 instead of FY 2021, it would be an increase of 6%).

Note: If you're thinking of larger numbers like $11 billion and $38 billion, those numbers most likely include benefits and other spending that aren't included in the IBO numbers, which were used for convenience and consistency. However, I'd be surprised if this trend didn't hold even after those benefits were accounted for.
