obama and sen. tom coburn, a republican from oklahoma, teamed up to create usaspending.gov so that we can track where all that government money is going.
this site has been up for a while but obama's on a roll, highlighting his achievements, you know, sticking to the issues.
for example, here i see the top 100 recipients of government contracts. at the top of the list is lockheed martin, followed by lawrence livermore and abu dhabi national oil company. it also lists the dollar amounts.
you can also find out the government contracts awarded by state. so let's take pennsylvania, since it's the state of the moment, it is the 8th highest ranking states for contracts. it got $13 billion worth in 2007.
