I love how when you click on the "about" tab on usgovernmentspending.com, it's basically revealed that the site is run by some guy with a blog. I went to the guy's blog, and prominently on the left side of the screen, there's an image that reads, "proud right wing extremist".

(Note: you can only download the spreadsheets for 2008 or earlier. 2009-2014 are marked as guesstimates, since official data is not yet available.
