See Where The IT Money Is Going Using the Obama "IT Dashboard"

This is an interesting website now available at USASPENDING.ORG to see supposedly where all the 72 billion dollars of Obama IT spending is going, extending the ability to evaluate the new federal portfolio like we've never been able to do before from our own desks and home

The first thing you'll see is this graph which grabs your eyes, as if they are proud of these tech dollars and numbers, like they want us to all be convinced at a glance that all this money is being well spent by lopping it all into mostly very general categories which is mostly going to companies liberals endlessly whined and bitched about when Bush sent contracts and money their way.

Which by the way never amounted to 72 billion dollars..


Another thing that grabbed me while examining it was the nonchalant way spending of billions and billions of our money has become less and less shocking to see and or hear about, and when seeing these astronomical dollar amounts presented to us by Obama's new Central Government that many calculators of old nor regular working Americans of today cannot even barely compute anymore.

As if it's normal and commonplace to have these numbers tossed around like peanuts, as we all know this use of phrase "multi trillions" in our budgets and deficits is a New Obama Trend.

Now they can spend the rest of the year building about 30 more of these so we can all see at a glance where these trillions of dollars sent special delivery from Obama to all the special interests that got him elected.

Here's a youtube they offer up that describes the site and how to effectively use it to yield information that will certainly be of interest to all of us, as long as they're telling the truth about all this stuff that is.
