Two Shocking Visuals

Information is Beautiful posted a couple of interesting graphics recently.

The Billion Dollar Gram is a shocking visual of govt waste. The picture seems self explanatory, so I won't comment further.

The second graphic that caught my eye was the third of the Four Infographic Morsels. A small version is below. A larger version can be seen by clicking the image, clicking the blog link above and scroll down, or click http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2595/3941254968_7f70fbd209_b.jpg.


Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires, outnumbered 9 to 1 (16 to 1 if include all private security contractors) is kicking the USG's ass. Unfortunately Obama is too stupid to learn from history.

    I hadn't heard of the Information is Beautiful site before. The Billion Dollar Gram is pretty amazing, especially the Iraq war spending and the "financial crisis."
