I like the idea of a taxpayer receipt! Puts the federal budget into easy terms. markcoatney: nightline: Thirdway.org proposes a taxpayer receipt. The IRS breaking down how the check you sent them was spent. Although that’d be one more receipt to keep track of.  Here’s what it would look like for FY09. (via Ezra Klein) This is very smart, because it expresses the information in a way that’s a lot easier to understand; it especially shows how Afghanistan and Iraq are just sucking the life out of the federal treasury.
