Right,
Barack Obama made like 506 promises to us, the American people; and
significantly he promised that he would have the most transparent administration in history.

Libertarians and limited-government conservatives believe that transparency will reveal excesses and waste in government, suggesting that private solutions are better.
Liberals believe transparency will validate government programs and root out corruption. Transparency is a win-win.
A functional, cleaner government is better than a dysfunctional, wasteful, & corrupt one.

As part of this commitment, Obama said will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public
an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days, called Sunlight before signing".

(Here we can track how he is doing... PolitiFact | The Obameter: Tracking Obama's Campaign Promises
The president has kept 122. of the 25 most significant promises, politifact.com says Obama followed through on six,
for a 'promise-kept %' of 24%. - But this thread is not about those.)

When the Federal government as promised is Transparent... let's discuss what all we would see...

How about the latest presidential Salary, Room, Board, & more Benefits:

How about the BUDGET. What was the USA-budget during
2008
2009
2010
2011
2012

Next, we find the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 where?

Feel Free sharing what other Federal transparencies you know :wave:
