Where Does Your Money Go?

An interesting new website has just been launched which provides detailed information about government spending. Although currently a prototype “Where Does My Money Go?” provides a free interactive tool that provides a detailed break down of government spending.

The site, which can be found here, provides information on government spending from the past six years and also looks at long-term trends. Some of the findings are quite interesting - for example total public spending as a percentage of GDP this year increased to levels not seen since the recession of 1992.
