# Gov Transparency Project

> Independent, non-partisan analysis of federal spending, Federal Reserve economic data, and congressional accountability. Follow the money. Track the votes. All figures sourced directly from public government APIs (FRED, U.S. Treasury, Congress.gov, BLS, USAspending.gov, FEC).

The Gov Transparency Project (govtransparencyproject.org) is an independent, non-governmental publication by AXIA Enterprises. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. government or any federal agency. Tracker values reflect the most recent scheduled data pull, not a live feed — each page states its "last updated" date.
