Federal Money workspace

Where federal money flows: the contract + defense + grant award tapes over the Treasury / debt-composition / auction / debt-cost complex

Use it when: When you want to see where federal money is actually going, rather than what was announced.

Where federal money actually goes, and how it is funded.

• Preset strip under the menu bar — one click applies the whole layout. A checkmark tracks which preset is active.
• Or ask for it: show me the federal money.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything missing is one add <name> away.

• 1. The contract, defense and grant award tapes at the top — these are awards, not proposals.
• 2. The Treasury and debt-composition tables underneath for how it is being funded.
• 3. Auctions and debt cost last.

The tell: Award tapes lead the reported spending data by months. That lag is the edge in this desk.

5 panels, read straight from the preset definition in the desktop build:

• Debt Composition
• Federal Debt Cost
• Treasury Auctions
• Treasury Buybacks
• Treasury Fiscal

Plus 5 dense sheets — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• auctions Table
• defense Contracts
• federal Contracts
• federal Grants
• state Tax

These desks assume the theory. If any of it is unfamiliar, the background reading is on the learn side:

• What actually moves ES and NQ

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
