What do you think of Sarah Palin's idea to put the federal government's "checkbook" online for everyone to see?

I think it's a great idea. The only problem is that Senator Obama and Republican Senator Tom Coburn have already sponsored and passed a law that did that 2 years ago. In June, as he was wrapping up the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama and Coburn introduced new Senate legislation to expand the information available online to include details on earmarks, competitive bidding, criminal activities, audit disputes and other government information. Among the co-sponsors of the original bill: Sen. John McCain http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/18/palins-transparency-proposal-already-exists-in-dc/

LOVE the idea.
Not a bad idea, every American regardless of political party has the right to see exactly where their tax dollars are going
It's a great idea, but it's already been DONE. Her statement showed how little she knows and how unprepared she is...especially if something happens to McCain and she needs to take over. Obama 08!
Great idea. I would love to see where all our money is going. I think the State of California should do this too. Our budget problem here is insane!!!!
Bad idea for republicans then they would have stop saying the Democrats are the only ones that spend too much.
and then we can see how much of our tax money is going to the war and that will piss everyone off
