Le budget fédéral américain en image :
If you don't already know it, you must look at this site (click on “view the graph”), which provides a complete graphic representation of US Federal Funding. All the agencies are represented with their FY2007 appropriations. On the left-hand side is military funding and on the right-hand side is non-military funding. It is mind-boggling!(via Austrian Economists)
(...) $1.545 billion are spent on the Food and Drug Administration, while the Supreme Court receives a budget of $76 million. The most important institution in the US is very cheap to run, which goes to show that a small state would be very inexpensive.
