While Americans struggle to make ends meet, government throws away billions of dollars
Here are just a couple infuriating examples:
- The federal government doled out billions of dollars in fraudulent unemployment insurance payments during the pandemic.
- New York’s government just funded millions of dollars for planting trees while New York City struggles with a migrant housing crisis.
- From 2020-22, federal agencies spent billions of dollars on office furniture—even though most of their employees worked from home.
This is only a small sample of the reckless, wasteful government spending that goes on every day.
And the worst part? There are elected officials trying to hide this spending from the very people who elected them.
The American people have a right to know how their money is being spent!
If you agree, on this Giving Tuesday I hope you’ll donate to OpenTheBooks to hold government accountable for its wasteful spending.
Thanks to friends like you, we’ve successfully captured nearly 5 billion public expenditures—and we’re rapidly growing our data in all 50 states down to the municipal level.
We won’t stop until we capture every dime taxed and spent by our government. But we need your help to do it!
I’m grateful for folks like you—folks who still believe the government has a responsibility to steward its citizens’ money wisely.
