Track Economic Stimulus Plan Spending

President Barack Obama is trying to make good on his promise to bring more transparency to U.S. government dealings.
Here is a link to Recovery.gov the official White House for following every penny spent on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
According to the web site:
"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."

You can also read the complete bill here and post your own comments.
