Two types of government spending include spending on goods and services and transfer payments. true or false

True at least for federal governments like the one in Canada spend money for example for civil service activities like a geological survey to pay the geologists to do the field mapping and for their supplies and for the office maintenance for example. This then can benefit the mining and mineral exploration industries to narrow their search for mineral deposits,for example. Transfer payments in Canada are made to the provincial governments to help pay for national programs like medicare, to re-build or replace aging infrastructure, etc. 

The answer is True.
