Graphic artist Jess Bachman discovered that the U.S. Federal Government is quite transparent when it comes to telling us where it plans to spend our money. The only problem is that the data is buried in spreadsheets containing hundreds of thousand of tables when, printed out, weigh 50 pounds.
So, Bachman labored for weeks to find the data, and then convert it to a simple visual, understandable set of information. Edward Tufte would be proud!
You can purchase it from Amazon as a 24” x 36” glossy poster for $20. Or, you can simply view it here. If the web page loads properly, you can click on any part of the poster to magnify it.
Enjoy!
