UK Spending Graph

I've been wanting to put together a chart or graph on how Canada spends its money because nothing beats a good visual while you eat cherries. I looked around for one but we Canadians aren't overly enthusiastic at introspective accounts of our bad habits. But I did come across a British one. You can view and adjust the size here on PDF.

It's a great way to grab a pen and say, "I don't need this, we can cut that" and so on.

Mind you, that's not always easy to do. Recall that we consider a CEO a genius for increasing EPS (earnings per share) by essentially cutting staff. That's not a solution. But it does get them on the cover on some fancy shmancy magazine.
