Where does the money go?
June 20th, 2007 by Andy Didyk
I always like to experience visual ways of displaying complex data when the visual displays simplify and inform. The “Death and Taxes 2008” poster is a great example of this. Would I ever take the time to try and sift through the 2008 federal budget? Heck no. But would I spend 20 minutes browsing through this interactive piece? Absolutely. Regardless of what your position on the issues may be, this provides an at-a-glance view of where budgetary changes could be occurring (it was easy to spot things like new submarines being favored instead of housing for the elderly, for example).
This is more breakthrough that it may appear on the surface…what if government textbooks were replaced with interactive learning modules in high schools across the country? How much could retention rates improve?
