Our IT goblins have been slaving away in the basement of OMB Watch for months processing loads and loads of government data, and they finally have something to show for it! Our latest update to FedSpending.org includes federal spending on contracts through 2008 with partial data available for FY 2009, and federal assistance spending, such as grants, loans, insurance and direct government payments, up through the first two quarters of 2008. Take a gander and manipulate all the new data by state, year, federal agency, or type of contract or assistance.
