Needless to say, Truemajority.org presents a biased perspective, but a few years ago, I showed my students Ben Cohen's Oreo Budget, which is a great illustration on how our country spends tax dollars. I don't know if this site is updated each year or if this is outdated information; I haven't used it in awhile:

He also said that if we increased federal aid to .7 percent of the budget we could end world poverty. Does anyone know where I could verify this information? Or more generally, where I can get stats what percentage of the budget goes to military (and other expenditures?). Thanks for any information!!
