Last night President Obama delivered the State of the Union. Written for posterity, perhaps, itās still a policy speech, and policy costs. Hereās āDebtris,ā reminding everyone that, a bilion here, a billion there, pretty soon youāre talking about real money.
Debtris, produced last month by Information is Beautful, arranges spending figures in relative sizes to one another; the Tetris motif is just to get you to pay attention. No squiggly pieces or L bars, but damn, that $3 billion from OPECās climate change fund sure is preventing the board from clearing off a couple lines, isnāt it.
For our friends overseas, hereās the U.K. version.
