The Business Model

Why Is This Idea Important?: If transparency reaches a large scale, Americans can begin to trust the government again because the level of trust America has in the establishment right now is no higher than when Bush Jr. left office. If there is no trust or accountability between the populus and the government then we are not living in a true democracy.

Like many Americans I am frustrated with the lack of consistent, detailed, and accessible information regarding government activity. Government transparency should be treated like publicly traded companies

Detailed financial documents should be released, showing many aspects of government spending ranging from contract details to tax dollar tracking. This can be done with a specific standard of reporting required for every department. Allowing each department to record and file activity should keep bureaucratic road blocks low as well and the transition smooth. After the reports are filed, they can be sent to one master website allowing the public to search and find information through a reliable source quickly and easily.

I hope to see this radical but needed change in my lifetime but am sceptical,even as a 22 year old.
