Wouldn't it be grand if the proverbial we the people actually had some idea of where our tax dollars were being spent? I'd take the idea below a step further and suggest, no more 600 hidden amendments in legislation - let's get government out into the light.
It's an initiative the Left and Right should get behind. How long before the professional pols try to shut this one down?
WASHINGTON - Abraham Lincoln said, “Let the people know the facts and all will be safe,” so the Great Emancipator would certainly cheer an unlikely group of United States senators who have recently joined forces to push a potentially landmark measure. That measure is designed to put every American citizen within a few mouse clicks of knowing the facts needed to track federal spending as never before.
Geeze, if you folks only knew how the government wastes your money.
