[IMC] TIMELY: What you need to know about the federal taxes and spending from NPP

[Mary Bui]

Greetings,

I wanted to make sure you've received the latest releases from National
Priorities Project <http://nationalpriorities.org/>!

Our latest report stacks up the Ryan, Obama and Progressive
budgets<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/budget-proposals-2015/>against
what Americans say we want.

With Tax Day just around the corner, we have a wealth of resources that
illustrate how the allocation of taxpayer dollars affects issues that
matter to the majority of Americans, like job creation, education, health
care, the environment, and earned benefits programs like Social Security
and Medicare.

We hope you will be able to leverage our research and data to support your
important organizing and advocacy efforts:

Last week we debuted a to-the-penny
breakdown<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/tax-day-2014/>of
how each 2013 federal income tax dollar was spent. We invite you to
share our image on Facebook
<https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.facebook.com/nationalpriorities/photos/a.10150134738209404.294525.79304419403/10152236260429404>or
Twitter<https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Where+Your+2013+Taxes+Went.+http://pic.twitter.com/nY2gRHWX0P+via+@natpriorities>
.

We also have 7 things you must know about
taxes<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/tax-day-2014/taxes-101-seven-things-you-must-know-about-taxes/>
, the average taxpayer's receipt for all 50 states, and an individualized
receipt for your own 2013
taxes<http://nationalpriorities.org/interactive-data/taxday/>-- all to
the penny!

Our team analyzed President Obama's 2015
budget<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/president-obamas-fiscal-year-2015-budget/>proposal,
put those numbers
into pictures<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/presidents-2015-budget-in-pictures/>and
unearthed how his funding request would impact 31 federal programs --
like Head Start, School Lunch, and Section 8 Housing -- at the state
level<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/federal-spending-your-state-2013-2015/>.


For the first time ever, our researchers told the modern history of
Congress and the federal
budget<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/history-us-federal-budget-2011-2013/>and
the truth about sequestration's
relatively tiny impact on Pentagon
spending<http://nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2014/sequestration-impact-on-military-spending-2013-2014/>relative
to the cuts suffered by domestic programs.

And don't miss a re-launched portion of our site for our eight key issue
areas and associated data <http://nationalpriorities.org/works-on/>.

Lastly, check out our interactive tools like the Cost of National Security
counters <http://nationalpriorities.org/interactive-data/> and our Trade-Offs
calculator <http://nationalpriorities.org/tradeoffs/041713/>, which shows
what taxpayer dollars could buy in funding for federal programs if
allocated differently. And don't miss our Federal Budget
101<http://nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/>section.

NPP aims to be the People's Guide to the Federal Budget and we love
feedback and partnership! Please contact our Executive Director, Jo
Comerford (jo at nationalpriorities.org), to weigh in and/or to explore future
collaborations.

All the best,

Mary Bui
