Your Tax Dollars for 2008

The National Priorities Project has released this years breakdown of how American tax payer money is allocated. Not surprising, the Military took the biggest chunk out of the fund. What is more surprising though is just how much more the U.S. has spent on the Military compared to, I don't know let's say Health Care or Education. I am an advocate for graphs and visual presentations because they deliver the message quickly and more effectively then words. Check out the break down. I have provided both a U.S. and a Texas graph. Feel free to share this information with friends and family because for some reason, and I will go out on a limb on this, I surmise the media may not really mention this type of exciting news tonight.
