Just double click and zoom in on the part you want to see.

You mean to say that you didn't already get your copy of the Federal Budget Summary? ;)

The sad part of this chart is that it only focuses primarily on the 33% of the Federal Budget that is considered "Discretionary". That is Defense and Non-Defense discretionary funding totaling about $1.122 Trillion. Not much gets said about the Entitlements Programs that account for the other 67% of the Federal Budget. Lots of waste, inefficiency, and questionable programs there that grow unabated from year to year.

I like the part that says "Every taxpayer must pay $4.00 for every Billion in the Federal Budget on average." I ran the numbers and am way the H3LL above average. So, I got that going for me. :rolleyes:
