When you sleep . . . where do your taxes go?

It doesn't load easily on my G4 Powerbook, but this graph shows quite, umm, graphically how your federal income tax dollars are allocated. The big picture? $632 billion (64%) for military and national security, and $350 billion (36%) for everything else. But when you're five times more likely to die from a hernia than from a terrorist attack, is it really worth it? Or should we throw a few more dollars at public health?
