OpenSpending - See where $6 trillion in federal spending actually goes

We pulled every dollar from USASpending.gov and turned it into something you can actually explore. See which contractors get the most money, how your state depends on federal spending, the $36T debt clock, a tax calculator showing where your money goes, DOGE savings reality checks, and deep dives into defense, foreign aid, and welfare spending. 260+ pages of interactive data journalism — no paywall, no agenda.
