This chart is everywhere these days. My question is why is the 148 billion so much bigger than the 142B underneath it? And why doesn't the yellow 316B deficit take half of the left side, since it is about 50%? And why is the 316B yellow smaller than the 148B green? This is not how this chart is supposed to work.

It's intentionall because the source wants to push for some agenda and they know most people don't like plain text and visuals are the way to put the image in people's heads till next elections.

Lies, damned lies and statistics (or chart manipulation)

What is the source?

Kind of a retarded visual.

It's just intentionally deceptive to hide the fact that there's is a massive shortfall. It misrepresents the scale. Someone should remake it and set the proportions correctly.

Great catch, we should remake the chart correctly. Not sure I’m the guy for that job but I’d zap who ever is! 🫡

Josua Schmid · 57w

Cool! Thank you for sharing. This goes directly into my bullshit graph collection. Do you have a source I can attach?

ksedgwic · 57w

Maybe they were lazy and just updated the numbers on an old chart so the proportions were from some other year

Haha. Government math. Fiat ruins everything.

You're confused. It's a Psykey chart, not a Sankey.

Playing with visual bias :)

News outlets do this ALL the time. People that don't read the data see what they want them to see

Here is an updated version. Looks like citizens shell pay double the amount of taxes just to keep the budget neutral. https://image.nostr.build/77a2d80c572fceb630008a8b10be813d1c926ebe0a28403c071dbbd90b56b42b.jpg

ya, it’s always been like that, they do it on purpose

Government can’t draw a picture without propaganda.

It is to check if someone understand numbers or only pictures. If no one see the problem, you are ready to fuck them all. A kind of mass IQ test, including the ones who are relaying the chart.
