For all of you not familiar with "Death and Taxes", this is a site that produces an interactive graphical display (posters also available) now three years running of the federal budget. It contains over 500 programs and departments and almost every program that receives over 200 million dollars annually. The data is straight from the president's 2010 budget request and will be debated, amended, and approved by Congress to begin the fiscal year. All of the item circles are proportional in size to their spending totals and the percentage change from 2009 is included to spot trends and disproportion.
Its a great way to compare NASA to the NSA, Homeland Security to Healthcare, etc. - from a budget expenditure perspective.
This is the blog of a modern day Cartographer thrown into the business world. Over the course of my journeyman's career I have wandered through positions in government, news agencies, consulting corporations and rogue start ups. The hard-earned working theory I have developed is simple. In life, communication is hard work. In business, effective communication is critical. Hence, this blog parallels the location Intelligence practices on www.GeoSteppes.com.
