Two Senators actually introduced a good bill!!!!!
Introduced by Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.), S. 2590 would require the full disclosure of all companies and organizations that receive federal funds. This bipartisan legislation would direct the Office of Management and Budget to create a searchable database that would include information regarding each entity that receives federal funding, the amount received, how the money is being used, and where the entity is located.


I received this info from Coulcil for Citizens Against Government Waste

www.ccage.org

I'm surprised Coburn went along with this, but also glad he did!

2. I live in Oklahoma - and as shocked as you are, you can imagine
how shocked I must be! Coburn is normally a quack. I wonder what the catch is... :eyes:

3. With Cobum's support...
I suspect it will be abused for coercive purposes; by his ilk anyway.
