Bringing transparency to government
Start by finding your elected officials
Members of Congress take countless votes every year, many of which add new spending.
SpendingTracker.org automatically aggregates the new spending contained in each bill, according to official estimates, to create each Member of Congress's total "number" based on what they have voted for.
Nearly every elected official and candidate promises to spend the people's money responsibly, but rising debt and historically high spending shows that these promises are usually forgotten.
We believe that accountability matters, so we created SpendingTracker.org to reveal who is voting for what – as it happens.
For more information about how we arrive at our estimates, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.
We work to create a national, nonpartisan dialogue regarding spending reform by presenting information in a publicly accessible manner.
The Institute for Spending Reform engages in and promotes rigorous academic research and scholarship on the subject of federal spending and budgeting.
