I mean, this already exists - there are tons of sites that slice and dice US spending with nice visuals etc. etc. Sure, I didn't see an itemized "bill" on page 1 of Google, but such a thing would be insanely incomprehensible for most people given that if you itemized the budget down to the level of the president's secret service protection, you'd end up with millions of line items.

It doesn't have to be incomprehensible. Just diggable. Click through to finer and finer granularity. Searchable. It's just ("just") a data vis problem. I'd work on it but too busy. Maybe for the future. Could be fun.
