If you goto the IRS website looking for information about where your money goes you see this ...



Theme 1: Your Role as a Taxpayer
Lesson 1: Why Pay Taxes?

The federal budget outlines how the government gets and spends its money. Visit the Citizen's Guide to the Federal Budget Web site to learn more about the Federal Budget. Citizen's Guide to the Federal Budget Web site provides information on the budget up to 2009.

Then you are redirected to the GAO webpage - Citizens Guide to The United States Budget.

There is no citizens guide about the Federal Budget after 2002.

So what gives?

Was there a Presidential Order post 2002 to stop publishing the Citizens Guide to the Federal Budget?



An excerpt from the 2002 - Citizens Guide to the Federal Budget

How much do you know about the budget? If your answer is “not much,”
you’re not alone. In fact, hardly anybody knows everything that’s in the
thousands of pages, and several books, that make up the budget each year.
