Our Budget, Our Stories

The federal budget is our budget. It affects our lives every day, from the roads we drive on to the health care we receive. It is personal and local – our taxes fund it, and our communities receive support through it in the form of grants and services.

The Faces of the Budget project tells the story of the federal budget through ordinary folks’ personal experience. We’re illustrating all the ways the federal budget touches people’s lives – and what they think about budget decisions being made in Washington D.C.

Have you received government services, sent your children to public school, paid taxes, or visited a national park? Then you have a story to tell about the federal budget! Please share your experiences and thoughts as part of our project to make the federal budget our budget.
