Budget explorers
If "budgets are a moral document," then constituents in a democracy should be able to view, explore, and understand them. Budget explorers help citizens understand where government funds -- and their tax contributions -- go. They're usually visual, and sometimes interactive, helping people become more literate in the budget-setting and expenditures process.
