• From: Steven Clift

• Clearspending.com, a new website and "scorecard" that analyzes how well U.S. government agencies are reporting their spending data on USASpending.gov.
  
• Sunlight's analysis isn't just about one website -- it's about the way we keep tabs on our society's use of its resources. We shouldn't let these systems become afterthoughts.
