"The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be carried out with full transparency and accountability -- and Recovery.gov is the centerpiece of that effort. In a short video, President Obama describes the site and talks about how you'll be able to track the Recovery Act's progress every step of the way."

Welcome to Recovery.gov

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. The money is being distributed by Federal agencies, and soon you'll be able to see where it's going -- to which states, to which congressional districts, even to which Federal contractors. As soon as we are able to, we'll display that information visually in maps, charts, and graphics.

5. How about full transparency of the Bush administration as well?

And not just letting it all slide into oblivion which will encourage the next fascist regime to confidently know they will never be held accountable for their crimes by any Dem administration that may follow?

If we allow it to unchecked, un-prosecutable, again, it may well be too late.
