This legislation would create a single, searchable website detailing every dollar of federal spending and awards so that any American can easily find where their tax money is going. This will make our government more transparent and allow both taxpayers and policymakers to track federal spending more effectively. The measure also includes strict new limits on how much federal agencies spend on travel and conferences each year and requires public reporting of any conference expenses exceeding $10,000. These common sense provisions will increase accountability and save tax dollars. I am hopeful that the Senate will quickly take up this legislation. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
