Where does your tax money go?

I am a huge fan of graphs. They make infor­ma­tion so much eas­ier for my fee­ble brain to digest. Well done graphs pro­vide con­text that sheer numer­i­cal infor­ma­tion sim­ply can not. With that, I feel com­pelled to share an incred­i­ble graph­i­cal depic­tion of the Fed­eral Bud­get. Want to see a high level pic­ture of where your tax money is being spent? Check it out for your­self at Death and Taxes. Of note, check out the visual depic­tion of the National Debt. At a stag­ger­ing 9.35 Tril­lion Dol­lars, it does not even fit in the box with the rest of the items. Thanks to Boing­Bo­ing for point­ing me to this.
