AOC is a financial moron. Remember how she chased Amazon out of her district some years back when the people there needed the jobs badly?

Keep em on welfare and vote Democrat, what a mess.

I believe the earmarks listed for St. Louis, Michigan, should read St. Louis, Missouri, the district of Representative Cori Bush.

Rep Cori Bush is, I’m sad to say, is from Saint Louis, Missouri (D-MO)

Keep up the good work shining the light on government waste and largesse.

Billion Oyster Company is a great nonprofit cleaning up the rivers and bay around NYC. indIvidual oysters can clean up to 50 gallons of water per day. I’ve oystered farmed in Morro Bay Ca and they are legit for a healthy ecosystem. As a nonprofit they are gonna take the money from whoever, government or private.

Your link to download the full database does not work. Please provide a direct link to the database. I tried looking for it and came up empty.

The links work... the Excel file opens when you click on the picture from our splash page.

I clicked on the blue banner that says CLICK TO DOWNLOAD DATABASE and I clicked on the picture. The only thing that downloads is the screen shot of the partial Bowman list. I would not have bothered you if I had not tried many ways to find this database.

When I click on the picture, my browser downloads a standard Excel spreadsheet file — so you will need an Excel-compatible viewer or editor application for your platform in order to read it. If your browser does not even offer to save the XLS file, then it might be obsolete or misconfigured. You should check your browser settings to see how it handles this file type and then reconfigure it, update it, reinstall it, or try a different browser where necessary (depending on your preferences & circumstances.) In any case, here is a direct link for your convenience:

I support the Democratic Socialists agenda. I have no problem with the report. However, I still ask the question when will Open The Books focus more on the trillions/billions of tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy class? As a closeted front group for conservatives and the corporate media (just look at their media list). Open The Books' primary focus appears to advocate keeping things as they are: poverty for the masses and prosperity for the billionaires.

I think you will find the majority of our citizens in the United States have absolutely NO DESIRE TO BECOME SOCIALISTS and will strive to thwart every attempt to bring this communism to our country. May I suggest Cuba for a new residence, perhaps you can help them figure out why they are starving in such a wonderful socialist country.
