What it shows: Education department spends over half its budget by Q3
The scene as painted: A grand federal building stands under a cloudy sky, with a subtle glow on its facade, as a small figure of a bureaucrat walks towards the entrance, while in the foreground, stacks of pallets filled with boxes and files stretch towards the building, with a few pallets left empty, symbolizing the obligated and unobligated budget authority, in a muted color palette with shades of gray and beige.
