What to see where your tax dollars are going? Heres a list of a few sites that provide visibility into where and what your tax dollars are doing.
- usaspending.gov : displays data pertaining to obligations (amounts awarded for federally sponsored projects during a given budget period)
- itdashboard.gov : information on the effectiveness of government IT programs and to support decisions regarding the investment and management of resources
- citizen.apps.gov : See how Federal Agencies are using our free tools
- data.gov : [To] increase public access to high value, machine readable datasets generated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government.
- paymentaccuracy.gov : Current and historical rates and amounts of improper payments, why improper payments occur, [and] what agencies are doing to reduce and recover improper payments.
- uspto.gov :Dashboard seeing the status of the patent office
- fcc.gov : Spectrum maps, broadband maps, etc.
Bad news is this openness makes it harder to swindle money from the taxpayers. Good news is
John Boehner’s 112th Congress is going to
cut funding to these sites forcing many of them to shut down. (Thank god the American dream is still strong!)
