Being that it’s the federal government that I want to find out about, I figure that the federal government is the place to start to try and find information. As it turns out, there are several government websites that contain data about Federal Spending. Here is what I’ve found so far.
The Office of Management and Budget. This website is controlled by the whitehouse and it’s political team. so while I’m sure that the information is accurate, I’m also sure that there will be spin in the way it’s reported.
Here’s another helpful site. The Government Printing Office has a page for the U.S. Budget. Being a non-partisan agency of the Legislative branch, I think it’s pretty trustworthy.
Finally, the Congressional Budget Office has to be the mother load of online information about how the United States spends it’s money. There’s charts, raw numbers, and even projections. This too is a non-partisan agency of the Legislative branch.
Check this out: USAspending.gov While it looks like it’s supposed to be more of an accountability website, the data in it might prove useful to me.
