From The Heritage Foundation: Where does all your tax money go

How a tax chart proves we have a spending problem...

Federal revenue has been stable as a percent of GDP since the late 1940s. What has changed is we are spending more...

Scary Chart of the Day

Percentage job losses on post WW2 recessions.

Via Business Insider:

Looking at percentage job losses, this is clearly the worst post WW2 recession. The chart indicates the recession has bottomed out, but any recovery seems stalled out.

Chart of the Day: Gallop Unemployment

According to the latest Gallop survey, unemployment was at 10.3% in February of this year.

PRINCETON, NJ — Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, hit 10.3% in February — up from 9.8% at the end of January. The U.S. unemployment rate is now essentially the same as the 10.4% at the end of February 2010.

The person who created this statistical chart is unknown, but the chart is very revealing. I would call it "Obama's First Two Years Scorecard." How is he doing?

H/T to Interested Bystander for pointing out this great chart.

Chart of the Day: Data Fails to Show Sea Level Rise Acceleration Predicted By Global Warming Believers

Anthropogenic (man-made) global warming believers love to claim "the science is settled." The rational response to that claim is "in God we trust," all others must bring data. The 2004 IPCC report predicted an accelerating rate of sea level rise.

Various pundits and scientists keep talking about a threatened acceleration in the sea level rise. Here’s the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report:

Anthropogenic forcing is also expected to produce an accelerating rate of sea level rise (Woodworth et al., 2004).

The chart posted below clearly shows anthropogenic forcing isn't accelerating sea level rise. Actually, the chart shows sea level rise is slightly moderating in the last decade.

Chart of the Day: Global Sea Level Predictions

The chart below shows seal level predictions from the anthropogenic global warming crowd and the actual change. Telling, isn't it?

From American Thinker:

Gore, Schwarzenegger, and the IPCC made their mark through their dramatic predictions of catastrophic sea level rise due to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causing global warming.  Gore once predicted that sea levels would rise by twenty feet over the century.  Last year, Schwarzenegger unveiled a map showing world sea levels rising by 1.5 meters over the next century.  In 2001, the IPCC predicted that sea level would rise by three feet over the next century.  Their past predictions and the accurate satellite measurements are shown in the chart below:

The Very Scary Jobs Chart

Ezra Klein explains why this jobs chart is scary.

That's job growth per month on the X axis, and how many months that level of job growth would take to get us back to pre-recession levels on the Y axis. Notice that adding new jobs at a rate of 200,000 a month would take us 150 months -- or 12.5 years -- to get back to normalcy. So far, only April has seen more than 200,000 in non-census jobs growth -- and even then, just barely.

You read that correctly. Considering new population growth, it could take over 12 years for unemployment to drop to pre-recession levels. A more optimistic scenario get us there in only 5 years. Now you know why the Fed is throwing in the towel on the US economy for the next 5 years.

The Real Hockey-stick Chart

No. This isn't the temperature. It is US unemployment for the last decade.

Download the pdf of this chart and take a close look at it. There is a lot of good information there.

From Watts Up With That:

You have to see this to believe it. Look up close and admire the detail while you despair at how long science has been going off the rails. To better appreciate the past and what was exposed by the CRU emails, the time-line chart consolidates and chronologically organizes the information uncovered and published about the CRU emails by many researchers along with some related contextual events. That the chart exists at all is yet another example of how skilled experts are flocking in to the skeptics position and dedicating hours of time pro bono because they are passionately motivated to fight against those who try to deceive us.
