Visualizing policies in a way we can all understand and occasionally trying to be funny. I'm better at the first part than the last one.

As as journalist, I must say I love your work. As a person who is not great at math, I say again, I love your work. As someone concerned with the atrocities that are going on with our government, again, I love your work. Thanks for the time you spend on it!

I like the analogy of the 800 lb. gorilla, but he keeps growing. He's more like a cannibal -- an economic cannibal -- since he represents one segment of population that is devouring the other segment.

Very very interested in seeing your visualization of the Senate Health Care $848 billion baby gorilla. They say the impressive "savings" may help it pass. Can you help us all grasp the neglible nature of these "savings"?? Plus, it may be interesting to see the changes this will mean for the "high earners" footing the bill. Perhaps a visualization of their take-home salaries before and after... ooo and what those kinds of taxes have meant for the tax revenue of New York (mainly the loss they're hit with after the "high earners" fled those taxes). What happens when the high earners retire rather than pay payroll taxes? Or move to states that opt-out of the health care reform? (will opting-out mean the "high earner" tax doesn't apply to those states??)
