Well, the goverment, as the article says, makes the data available. Perhaps, we concerning citizens, I fault myself here, should be willing to pay for a service to have a company process that data into reports. Currently, and to some degree, the government does in the form of the site Data.gov. That's likely to be mostly cut in the new budgets. I understand that; it's something that can and should be cut. Still, having that out there would be a good thing. Perhaps a line item could be added to our taxes to add a few bucks to support it; like they do for the "Presidental ReElection Fund?" I'd throw a few bucks at it. Perhaps some rich fiscal conservatives, regardless of political affiliation, could do it.
