Wall Stats' Death and Taxes Poster

Did you ever want to know how many taxpayers' dollars are being spent on various government programs? I'm not necessarily trying to stir up outrage, but then again, even those who don't grumble about paying taxes are likely to question some part of the United States budget, because the numbers reflect our country's priorities. If you don't think that NASA or the Department of Education has too big a budget, you're likely to think that the Department of Defense is costing us too much, or, looking at the big picture, a lot of people will look at our level of deficit spending and question if we'll ever be able to pay back our debts.
