EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Go to http://www.wallstats.com/deathandtaxes to see an impressive
display of how our federal budget is being spent. This uses the http://zoomorama.com
free service.
DETAILS
Sometimes it is difficult to get a handle on complex information. For
example, how is our federal budget spent? There are so many agencies
involved, how do they compare in their allocations? A visual
representation is useful here, but it is still very large and
complex. To see a wonderful diagram of federal spending, using a new
tool called Zoomorama (http://zoomorama.com), go to http://www.wallstats.com/deathandtaxes/
and click on the arrow keys to scroll through the diagram. I found
the information fascinating, and the presentation completely
engaging. You can go back to Zoomorama.com to see other examples. On
some you take the "tour" by clicking on the arrow buttons. On others,
you click on the diagram and then zoom in to see the details. Either
way, I like it.
There are two free services being offered, and one professional
service, so you can test this out for no charge. If you do something
with it, let me know.
