C|Net News blogger Chris Soghoian [has the story](http://news.cnet.com/8301-13739_3-10150699-46.html) on the search for transparency in the economic stimulus bill, and he cites Cato’s recent policy forum, [Just Give Us the Data](https://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=5475)!

Good things will happen when taxpayers can see where the money goes.
