This is pretty cool from the White House website. You can have enter in salary amount and then it will tell you how much money goes towards medicare, social security and where all the money goes in terms of defense, health care, welfare, etc. I found out about the site from FreeTech4Teachers.com.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)

I'm posting because ... well, I have to for a graduate educational techology course - but that having been said, I wanted to compliment you on your blog.
Tools like this are great for a government teacher. Oftentimes its difficult to connect politics and government to the real lives of students, and using tools such as this really helps to do so.
