Let's see also, where the money comes into "the US govt", so we can see how far out of balance the overall budget really is (and whether we like where it is). I've always liked the chart where all the inputs (taxes and fees) are on one edge (stacked in a bar graph), with splits and flows to the outputs (expenditures) so in one picture you can see all the flows of $ into and out of the federal budget. Click on parts to drill down. "back in time" arrow to see what happened in previous years / administrations. Flag events (war, 9/11, ) to put into timeline/historical context. I'll be keeping an eye on the link. Thanks for posting.
