Death and Taxes, the state budget edition: Massachusetts

Xeni Jardin 10:36 pm Wed Feb 9, 2011

Jess Bachman, designer of the incredibly detailed Death and Taxes graphic that shows how the US government spends American taxpayers' money, has produced a state level budget visualization for Massachusetts. "I did this one on commission and it has as much detail as the original Death and Taxes," he explains.

The most largest and most detailed visualization of a state budget ever, this 864 square inch poster (not for sale) compares hundreds of programs and expenditures from the billions down to the thousands of dollars. If you really want to see how a state (like Massachusetts) spends its taxpayers' money, this is it.
