Boy I haven't posted anything in a while. I am hoping to get into a regular mode now that things have calmed down a bit for me.

I am working on a long-term project (i.e. I am in no rush) to create an easily searchable online version of the Federal Budget. It's odd that there isn't something like that out there already or at least I haven't found anything. To find almost any useful stats from the Federal Budget is quite a chore. It made me wonder if members of the media actually check on budget numbers that politicians give out or they just trust them. That is why I want to start the website so that more people would have access to the budget. Ideally I would like for the site to be a commercial site but if it doesn't work out that way I would still be happy to keep it going.

Right now I am working on the web skills required to run the site. I know that what I can do technically won't take me very far but right now it is all I can afford. If it grows then I can hire someone else to handle the technical stuff.

Right now I don't even have a name for the site. Once it is up and running I will post the link.
