TARP and US Federal Subsidy Visualizations

Subsidyscope, an initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts, has built some interesting interactive visualizations of recent various federal programs meant to “Fix” the economy.  Of particular interest I find the visualization of the TARP program, where you can see not only the rate of spending (both integrated across time & as individual transactions), but the amount of money being sent to each of the banks.
