Track the Stimulus Spending

It seems that President Obama read my previous post about the stimulus package (if only I were that lucky).  I just learned through a colleague that the government has created a website that explains where each tax dollar is going to with the stimulus package.  It went live as soon as the President signed it into existence.

Here is part of the FAQ from the website:

Q: What is Recovery.gov
A: Recovery.gov is a website that lets you, the taxpayer, figure out where the money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is going. There are going to be a few different ways to search for information. Within days after the signing of the legislation, Federal agencies will start distributing funds, and you will be able to see which states, Congressional districts, and even Federal contractors are receiving them. As soon as we are able to, we'll display that information visually, through maps, charts, and graphics.

To view this site, click on the link below:


From time to time, I plan on checking this site to see how our money is being spent.  Stay Disciplined!
