The US government is the biggest client in the world. It spends more money than anyone else..
When Politicians talk big numbers, often they themselves have no clue what they are talking about - Obama's $4 Billion
Corporate Jet Tax Loophole & the automatic $1.2 Trillion over 10 years ($120 Billion / year) budget cuts are 2x examples.
This infographic series is meant to give you a new perspective on the size of U.S. Federal Government. You will learn
that when it comes to U.S. Govt', the big numbers like $4 Billion or even '$120 Billion over 10 years', are NOT that big.

$100 - Most counterfeited money denomination in the world.

Keeps the world moving.
$10,000 - Enough for a great vacation or to buy a used car.

Approximately one year of work for the average human on earth.

$1,000,000 - Not as big of a pile as you thought, huh?

Still, this is 92 years of work for the average human on earth.
US Government burns through $1 Million every ~8 seconds.

Military spending also includes Afghanistan which involves nation building
and is considered separately. Actual defense spending is $550 billion. Also
Education is delegated to the states. Public K-12 spending amounts to $630
billion, which is more than actually spent on defense, but still less Medicare
+ Medicaid and Social Security.

$100,000,000 - Plenty to go around for everyone.

$100M Fits nicely on an ISO / Military standard sized pallet.
The couch is made from $46.7 million of crispy $100 bills.

To have a better understanding of the scale of US Federal budget, lets put it in relative terms & see how many average homes $100 million buys.
Average US home price is $190,000 as of July, 2012. The $100 million dollar pallet by the house will buy more than 500 homes in America.

500 homes is the size of a small town. If you look carefully, next to the garage you can see $100
million pallet that would make this possible.
It takes 3500 Americans 1 year of work to make $100 Million dollars. The 155 million Americans who worked with earnings in 2005 on average made $28,567 / year.
In front of the 3500 people is the $100 Million pallet that they all have to work for 1 year to earn.
Look carefully to see a stack of $1 Million and the 35 average Americans required to earn that $1 Million in 1 year.

$1,000,000,000 - You will need some help when robbing the bank.
Interesting fact: $1 million dollars weighs 10kg exactly.
You are looking at 10 tons of money on those pallets.
The US Federal Government spends $1 Billion in roughly ~2.5 hours.
US Government Administrative costs are classified as "General Government" spending. The list of sub-categories of administrative costs is very long. This is the cost of
bureaucracy. See the entire list @ USGovernmentSpending.com.
Interesting fact: According to USGovernmentSpending.com's data, US IRS spends $500 million on tax collection in Puerto Rico yearly. For a country of 3.7 million people that's
$135 per citizen. Every citizen is not a tax-payer. In US only 36% of citizens are income tax payers. If IRS spent $135 per citizen to collect tax in US, it would cost IRS $42.4
billion to collect Income tax. But this is for someone else to investigate..
We gave the bureaucrats 2x giant conference desks and plenty of filing cabinets so they can 'file away' some of that 'paper work' that's laying around.

US Government Protection costs are legal expenses,

including money to enforce laws, run courts and prisons.
$1 Million would buy 33 Dodge Charger Hemi V8 police cars.
The 'tiny $1 Million' is right next to the $100 Million pallet (bottom left).

US Government Transportation costs fund government grants, federal aid for highways, disaster assistance,
aviation security, retired pay.
A significant chunk of the money goes to 'operating expenses'.

About half of US Government Education money goes to fund Elementary and secondary education.
$20.1 Billion go to "Accelerating Achievement and Ensuring Equity" - as stated.
$30.5 Billion go to the "American Jobs Act".
$5.4 Billion go to the "State Fiscal Stabilization Act"
There many other large budget item, see the full list here.
This is a whole bunch of random US Federal Government expenditures that don't fit in any other category.
See the full list here.

US Government in 2012 will spend about $450.3 Billion on interest on treasury debt securities (Government IOU's). It also receives $225.6
Billion in interest for its investments, leaving the Government with a balance of $224.8 billion to pay out.
It seemed appropriate to put the money on
trucks, since its getting shipped out of
tax-payers pockets to whoever
bought the public's debt.

US Government spends a significant portion of its budget on welfare. Obama has been dubbed the "food stamp president" since a record number of people are now on Food
Stamps. Welfare programs and food stamps are necessary for the government in order to suppress social unrest during hard economic times.
The "Social Exclusions" are other welfare programs, including tax credits,
assistance to families, refugees, energy assistance, supplemental security, etc.
Full list is found here.
US Government will spend $819.7 Billion on pensions. It is a huge part of the US Federal Budget and growing at an astonishing pace. Baby boomers, who are born in the
1950's & 1960's are set to retire soon and the government has no clear budget solution in sight to fix the hole in Social Security.
A lot of old people are already fearing that the Government will not be able to provide for them, even though they paid in to the fund through out their lives, the Government
has been siphoning on the Social Security Fund to fill the deficit in the budget.

US Government is subsidizing the Health Care industry heavily. A large chunk of the money goes to prescription pills.
The "Welfare" section consists of $255.3 Billion for grants to states for MediciAid, and "smaller" amounts for employee health benefits, children health insurance, CDC,
substance abuse services, Department of Defense retiree health care, and many others.
Consisting of the largest chunk of the US Federal Government budget, for most Republicans and Democrats in office, the Defense budget is off the table.
The F35's in the background; are just under $200 Million dollars a piece - over 1000x private homes @ US average home price of $190,000.
$10 Billion will buy you 50x F35's and you would become the most advanced Air Force in the world, next to United States.
During the 2000's, the word Defense and Attack became interchangeable, just like War/Peace & Black/White-- If you are confused, read the book 1984.

The public servants in Washington are responsible to manage huge sums of the American people's hard earned tax dollars, and also the money they
get by borrowing, including from the Federal Reserve, who bought a MASSIVE 61% of US debt that was issued in 2011.
If the US Budget's responsibility would be divided equally between by each member of Congress and the President, each public servant would be
responsible for $7.08 Billion. This gives them same responsibility as someone who's managing a wealthy Billionaire's money.

A more cohesive and objective way to look at United States of America's Federal Government Budget.
Everyone must see this, send this to your friends and your Congress men and women.
