Counter-Intuitive Graphics

This graphic demonstrates an inverse relationship between CO2 concentration and temperature. Watts Up With That?
This graphic demonstrates the growth of US government spending in the human resources sector while spending on national defense and everything else stagnates or even declines slightly. Under a President Obama defense spending would drop significantly while increases in human resources and new spending would likely be ten times the cuts in defense.

The "Catch 22" of human resource spending is that it is tied to cost of living, and can only go up. As the elderly population grows older, as the highly skilled craftsmen of industry grow old and retire and are not replaced, as high IQ populations die off and are replaced by lower IQ immigrants who can never take their place--paying for the exponential increases in government spending coming down the pipe will be impossible.
