I am working on a project and I was wondering if you could take five minutes to answer these two questions for me. This survey is dealing with the Discretionary Spending budget of the United States Government.
Thanks for taking it. I am trying to show the difference between the real discretionary budget and what people believe it should be. Right now I am gathering public opinion and then further into my project i will compare the two.

The top part was really fun but I had to get a calculator for the bottom
First off, I would like to thank everyone who participated in this survey. I reached 100 participants last night and NS was a huge help. I had over thirty people take this survey from NS alone.
I would like to share the results with you guys.
Here we have the actual Discretionary Spending budget put together by Congress -
After 100 participants, I found the average for each sector and compiled it into a pie chart

Take from it what you want my friends. If this is interesting to you, then I urge you to send this to your friends, family, loved ones, etc and ask for them to participate. The more people we bring together, the better we will portray the will of the people. This requires your action. This is no longer about my project, this is about something much larger than myself. This is about raising the awareness of people around us to show the difference between what we want and what we are getting.
