A Good idea from Governor Palin!

Palin finally had a great idea!  She wants the federal government to disclose all of its spending–including insurance payments, grants, loans and contract spending.   Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a website for all of this stuff.   What would the government call it…how about USASpending.gov?  That sounds AMAZING. 

What?

No.  Really!

Ok, she was just a little too late.  It seems as though USASpending.gov is already up and working.  Where did this come from?  It’s a government website that discloses its spending.  Well that’s a great idea.  I wonder who got this awesome thing done.

Who would do such a thing?

Who has the experience of being a “Mover and Shaker” of Washington?

Tom Coburn, John McCain and Barack Obama. 

Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act

Thanks but no thanks governor.

Read the article from cnn.com about how the governor is going around presenting this as her own idea. What gets me is that Palin is SO inept at Washington politics that she doesn’t even know that these things are getting done by responsible and experienced leaders.  What I don’t understand is why McCain isn’t on Obama’s ticket.
