Ok guys, that is about a 1/3 of it with much more to come,

but as you peruse the above, there are certainly some interesting things to note,

like decreases in housing for the elderly and increases in tenant assistance,

Egypt and Israel have their own line item, along with a new one added for Pakistan,

There are about 3 different departments handling aids and global warming

There is less money available for investor protection and enforcement, while more money for bankers

Less money for customs and borders, while plenty more for homeland security and urban security.........

I could go on, but give it a read and see what happens,

I will follow up with more later on......

FAQ
Why do you focus on the discretionary budget?

The discretionary budget funds all cabinet level departments and what is referred to most often when people think of the 'federal government.' It is the single largest part of the budget at one trillion dollars or roughly one third of pot. It is also the portion of the budget that Congress can easily push numbers around year to year which makes it a great tool for tracking our real national priorities. The total budget is depicted (not to scale) in the bottom right corner of the Death and Taxes poster.

Entitlement spending is also not included in detail for practical reasons. Social Security and Medicare cannot be broken down into small programs as other governmental departments can. The bulk of the funds are small payments to millions of people which cannot be graphed in the same manner as the rest of the poster. If entitlement spending were included to scale with the discretionary budget the overall detail of the poster would have to be decreased dramatically if the 24"x36" size were to me maintained.

What do you consider military or national security spending?

While many people think the military is confined to the Department of Defense, that is not the case. The Department of Defense has budgeted $552 billion, but that does not include the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding, which is listed as $160 billion. TheWhitehouse also lists the following as security funding. Department of Energy - $11.2 billion (this is mostly related to nuclear weapons), Homeland Security - $43.6 billion, Veterans Affairs - $57 billion, State Department - $58.5 billion. There are other various pockets of military and security related funding in other civilian departments as well. It all adds up to $895 billion.

How come some numbers differ from last years poster?

The poster is of the President's February budget request. While the President may terminate a program, Congress may continue funding for it, and unless the President veto's the congressional resolution, funding will continue for the 2010 terminated program. These numbers are constantly in flux and are revised mid year.

Is the data accurate?

Yes. The figures used to create the graph come directly from the President's official budget request and the comptroller of the Department of Defense. The Intelligence budget figures are estimates from globalsecurity.org.
