Real Time Federal Spending

Why Is This Idea Important?: Business are required to report this to the government in order to exist and operate in it's midst. I hold that the government should provide the same transparency to it's operating authority - The American People

Provide Updates to USASpending.gov to include other metrics similar to SEC filings for businesses. Cash Flow statements, income and balance sheets, and a covenant agreement showing specifically how our debt load will not impede our ability to manage and operate the day to day operations of our country. It should also include projected expenditures referenced to line items in the budget. Every manner of chart, graph, or cross-referencing metric should be provided to give interested citizens the tools to stay well-informed. Raw data sets should also be provided for external and independent analysis.

Results should be provided as closely to real-time as possible, by posting hard monthly financial documents no more than eight business days into the following month. Estimates should be made in real time based on the most reliable data available.

    I'm talking of course about including detailed line-item assessments and per office agency expenditures as this information is available on daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly bases.

    Make it easy to access and easy to read. USASpending is unnecessarily vague and cumbersome to navigate. It provides little to no true insight to financial expenditures, contracts awarded or other information.

    Cut spending by firing your Birth Certificate Lawyers. They're going to fail you anyway.

    Transparency?

    Remember folks, it's O.K. for this Muslim to lie as we are the infidels. He's perfectly within his Muslim rights to do this.

  3. The data you ask for her should also include links to "donations" made to politicians to see if money is being spent with organizations that provided money to the politicians,

  4. "Cut spending by firing your Birth Certificate Lawyers"

    That'll save about 30 thousand dollars since the only thing they do is file and receive dismissals of frivolous cases. Now how do we save the other 2 trillion?

    Definitely a good idea.

    prevere, this topic has nothing to do with Religion or State's legal actions; so please do not spam this board.
