Constellation of Cash

Check out this excellent visualization of the federal budget. It’s the discretionary part only, i.e. Social Security’s not included.

Guess before you look: Which is bigger, the Department of Education or NASA?

Department of Homeland Security or Department of Transportation?

Department of Defense or everything else combined?

That's amazingly crazily awesome. Wow. Now if only I could project it somehow. . ..

The swollen, overfunded circle that represents NASA is like the cancerous blight of a cigar burning its way into my soul.

What about the black budget?
