As you know, Barack Obama is using some of the time pre-inauguration to garner bipartisan support for the massive Obama-Biden economic plan aimed at pulling the country out of recession as quickly as possible. With total costs estimated between $700 billion and $1 trillion, you’d think that kind of money could easily be misspent, intentionally or unintentionally, but fret not. Other politicians will not be able to earmark anything in order to fund personal projects, and not only will there be an Economic Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board to oversee the flow of funds, there will supposedly be a website that anyone can visit to track the distribution of money themselves.
The entirety of the plan can be found here. If you can slog through the text (and cross-reference Wikipedia for stuff that might need clarification, lol) you can find a solid plan with some room for improvement that will undoubtedly arise in talks with Congress.
