I like to compare the government’s spending habits to me or you living off a Visa card. So when I stumbled on to this illustration by Jess over at WallStats.com I had to share. He made it for a blog post called Visualizing Uncle Sam’s Debt at mint.com. It basically illustrates what the Federal Government owes to our top 7 foreign lenders, but on a household level. Check out the original post if you want a little more explanation.
Jess has an amazing talent for taking complicated piles of data and presenting them in beautiful, simple layouts. Well done!
