Faces of the Federal Budget <http://nationalpriorities.org/stories/> The Faces of the Budget project tells the story of the federal budget through ordinary folks’ personal experience. We’re illustrating all the ways the federal budget touches people’s lives – and what they think about budget decisions being made in Washington D.C.

Tax Breaks<http://nationalpriorities.org/interactive-data/taxbreaks/2014/visualization/> The federal tax code includes hundreds of tax breaks designed to encourage certain activities that lawmakers deem beneficial to society. Tax deductions, credits, and exclusions are all different kinds of tax breaks. Tax breaks result in fewer revenue dollars collected by the U.S. Treasury. This visualization, based on NPP’s tax break dataset, shows some of the most expensive tax breaks, who benefits, and how their costs have changed over time.
