ProPublica, the non-profit journalism watchdog group led by former Wall Street Journal managing editor Paul Steiger, has launched a site called “Eye on the Bailout” to track the government’s spending designed to keep the financial industry from collapsing.
“The site we’re unveiling today will hopefully make all that a lot easier. It gives readers plenty of ways to break down the data: You can see every recipient of bailout money and the programs the money is being funneled through. We’ve done our best to translate the Treasury’s bureaucratese to plain English (e.g. ‘Targeted Investment Program’ really means ‘More Money for Citigroup and Bank of America‘).”
