Local legislative intelligence · nationwide

Every dollar your government approves, in one ledger.

USA Outlays tracks public spending in two layers: the awards — who got paid, how much, for what — and the approvals that authorized them. Real public records. No synthetic data, ever.

Our honesty policy: amounts shown are stated approval dollars from public records — budgets, bond ceilings, and awards overlap by nature and are never presented as clean spend totals. Missing amounts read not reported, never $0. Agenda-only items are marked. Every record links to its real public source.
