Obama’s 2011 Budget Proposal

This is one of the best representations I’ve see so far about where our federal budget is spent. The interesting tidbits are the small boxes (e.g. education for the disadvantaged is down 31.9%, assuming that there aren’t 32% fewer disadvantaged youth). Also, check out “net interest” payments (up 34%).

It made me cry, and laugh, then cry again. Take a look: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/02/01/us/budget.html
