Federal Budget in Pictures: 2012 Edition

The newly redesigned Federal Budget in Pictures presents complex policy trends in 46 simple full-color infographics. While each chart stands alone, the sequence of the book's four sections reveal a larger story: federal spending is out-of-control, federal revenue cannot keep pace despite crippling taxes, debt and deficits are soaring beyond any estimates... and the drivers of our nation's irresponsible fiscal state are entitlements- mandatory programs that keep Americans dependent on big government. Backed by official figures from the Congressional Budget Office and leading sources, Federal Budget in Pictures sounds a forewarning about America's fiscal course and how we can solve the crisis before it hits.
