Two years ago, when Mibi posted this he was selling copies. Worth the effort to purchase one. Worth it to find out as well if they are still available. I've sent him an e-mail just beofre posting this. If there's a positive response, I'll provide more detail here in an update.

My guess is that the only changes is that the dollars for the military and Homeland Secruity have increased and the human services have gotten smaller. Wonder if Halliburton has their own dot.
THE SUPERDEVIATION IS COMPLETE
Please click fullview, it is 1.8 megs [NOTE: click on the above pix to directly link to the full view]
After a year in the making... researching, number crunching, layouts, stock gathering, and lots of procrastinating, i am proud to say it is finally done.
the SUPERDEVIATION, or "spot" as it was known to some, comes now with the final title.
Death and Taxes: A visual look at where your tax dollars go.
Most people are unaware of how much of their taxes fund our military, and those aware are often misinformed. Well here it is. Laid out, easy to read and compare.
With data straight from the White House.
I hope this makes people think and ask questions.
• Why do we spend more on jets than we do on public housing?
• Why is the Endowment for the Arts so small?
• What's with all this foreign military financing?
• I'm sure you can come up with numerous questions of your own. Unfortunately i dont have any answers. Our leaders do. Your president, his cabinet and your congress person have these answers. Ask them for the answers or better yet, demand them.
The version submitted to DA is 3500x2333 and is 1.8 megs.
I have provided a larger version so you can see all of the details.
It is 9000x6000 and 5.8 megs. (so make sure your PC can handle it)
Sorry for all the watermarks, you know DA these days.
The source for the print is 12000x8000 at 400 DPI, with wonderful clarity and resolution.
