And take a look at this thing! I mean, we knew the military got a big piece of the pie, but sweet merciful jeebus! Each branch of the military is bigger than any other non-military appropriation.Maybe our taxes are too high. Certainly they're going to the wrong place.
In the last decade or so, during the "credit bubble" that seems to be coming to an end, a few people have made an enormous amount of financial gains. The rest of us? Not so much. Now that things are starting to look like they may be un-bubbling, doesnt it seem fair that those who gained the most from the bubble should be the ones who lose the most? Does anyone think that it will actually work out that way? Does anyone even suffer from the illusion anymore that our government will even try to soften the blow for us, if it must be at the expense of those lucky few?

any way to scan that in to make the type readable? I love your use of these charts, really, really love it. But the text on this one in indecipherable/unreadable. Or as an alternative, link the source. Please.
When you click on the picture, it actually takes you to the source of the map, rather than to my copy of the image. You may be suffering from the screen crunching the image down to fit. Look for a little box in the lower right-hand corner which has arrows pointing outward, or maybe yours does the little magnifying-glass/pointer thing. Either way, I know it's readable or I wouldnt have used it, because I worry about things like that.
