This is AWESOME. People see government as this incomprehensible thing - and parts of it definitely are - but there are simple ways of looking at some stuff. Seeing who represents you is very important. What I think would be better than this is to have a db of laws re: what stuff costs and what pays for it. So put in an address and you get an image of a dollar of income broken down by % that goes to what government program (nationally would be defense, medicare, blah, white house gardening, etc.) but on a local level you could see where your tax dollar went in terms of street repaving, libraries, airport, etc etc etc. I have no idea where my money goes on a local level (specifically).
