Budget Transparency Is a Good Thing

OMB Watch has launched a great new website called FedSpending.org. They describe the website this way “With over $12 trillion in federal spending, a more open and accessible tool for citizens to find out where federal money goes and who gets it is long overdue. We believe this website is a good first step toward providing that access.” You can actually type in the name of an organization and find out if they ever received a federal grant or contract. I tried it, it’s amazing how much information you can find!
