Recently National Priorities Project unveiled a wealth of new resources to help you understand what's happening in Washington, view the local impact of federal spending, see exactly where your tax dollars are spent, and explore what else your taxes could buy if our national priorities looked a bit more like your own. Take a look:

• See the details of President Obama's recent budget proposal.
• See how the president's budget compares to budget proposals in the House and Senate, and how they all compare to public opinion on issues ranging from education to military spending.
• See the local impact of federal spending with our newly updated Federal Priorities Database.
• Get a personalized tax receipt to know exactly how your tax dollars are spent.
• Use Trade-Offs to see what else your tax dollars could buy.
• Then consider ways to take action and demand better from Washington.
