Excellent visual representation of what is essentially a phonebook of hard data that no one EVER reads. This really makes a subject that is difficult to approach easier to comprehend.

Too bad this isn’t in every high school and college across America. I wish there was some sort of time-line graph that showed how each category has increased or decreased over the years. Even comparing a 2004 poster to the 2009 poster is dramatic. Another idea (even though we are post election craze now) would be a what if poster with the proposed federal budget under Obama vs. McCain vs. Ron Paul. I’m not sure who would have had the biggest proposed budget but I am pretty sure who would have the smallest! Thanks again for this work of art/design/genius.
