From Talking Points Memo, a link to FedSpending.org, a site I'll certainly be bookmarking and visiting regularly. As they put it:
This website, created by OMB Watch, is a free, searchable database of federal government spending...With over $12 trillion in federal spending, this 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.
My one minor gripe: flood insurance payments are, by the website's definition, listed as "grants." Um--NO. Flood insurance payments are restitution--premiums were paid for years prior to claims being made. That's NOT a grant.
Oh, and changing the subject, but not the referring website, Rajiv Chandrasekaran posted over at TPM cafe about Operation Enduring Clusterfuck.
