I would love to see a visual representation of where US tax dollars are going based on address. Especially if it has pretty charts.
There’s always Where’s George.
State budgets are difficult, but perhaps this helps:

and this:

80%: gun running
15%: Insurance programs
4%: Subsidies for Elon Musk
1%: Sandwiches from Così that aren’t even good
Just did a quick search, “interactive chart of us state and federal budgets”.
Found this government site for federal budgets: https://www.cbo.gov/interactives
For instance, here’s a page with charts for the 2023 federal budget: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59727
I would hope similar sites exist for most, if not all, of the states.
I’m not saying you’re wrong for posting this, but, I would be willing to bet that if these sites were well known enough by the general public, there would be a news expose on how those aren’t the real numbers. Those are SUPPOSED to be the real numbers, but if you could actually follow where the money goes, it goes into politicians pockets.
I can’t prove any of this, and neither can you, but if you’re older than 30, you can remember all the various times local and state governments take money meant for one thing, and instead bought a 3rd house. Usually investigated by the feds.
