What is the "Death and Taxes 2008" Poster?

"Death and Taxes" is a large representational graph of the federal budget. It contains over 400 programs and departments and almost every program that receives over 200 million dollars annually. The data is straight from the president's 2008 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 2007 is included to spot trends and disproportion.

$24.95 posters are 24"x36" and printed on high quality #100 cover stock

Great non candidate specific tool!

I'd like a good all-in-one image to put on a website.

Good idea for food mats!

Any Restaurant owners out there? Could even be used on business counters at check-out ect.

i bought my grandfather this for xmas, it's even more cool in person.

I noticed, too, that the site for this poster will send a copy of the poster to a congressman for 10$. including shipping. Is anyone interested in starting a fund to do this? it's only $5,350 dollars for all of them...
