Any time I hear about government spending, my eyes start to glaze over. At that scale, it’s simply too difficult to comprehend what’s being done to reduce the deficit or increase spending. As a contractor with the government, though, I can tell you that “budget cuts” impact my workpace as programs (and people) are suddenly gone.
This visualization of recent budget cuts is an excellent way to get a handle on what’s actually being done. It scares me – both from the message it contains (the administration really isn’t doing much with this decision) and in how simply and effectively one guy with a lot of pennies can explain what most economists and pundits in the mainstream media have failed to.
