Looking for good sites on corporate welfare
Anyone know of any? Most of the info I found in my google sources is four or five years old. Anyone know of any sites on corporate welfare with recent information? You know, how much money is being spent and which corporations are benefiting. Thanks in advance.

1. LOL! Good luck with that... no offense. It's a pink elephant...
in the living room.

Everyone knows it's there, it's standing on your foot, but NO one TALKS about it.... not with this regime in control.

2. You might want to search under different criteria.
Try "war profiteering."

8. Here's a late-breaking bit of corp. welfare:
DU thread about Labor Dept. forced into "re-examining" it's policy of giving Wal-Mart stores 15 days notice before investigating child welfare complaints. :eyes:

4. I find that Public Citizen does a good job at breaking down the budget
highlighting all the corporate welfare. Cato Institute was the best resource site for corporate welfare info, before the Bush admin came into power. But since then Cato has dropped the ball.

Public Citizen's corporate welfare breakdown:
http://www.citizen.org/congress/welfare/index.cfm

note the links on the right side which lead to breakdowns of numbers
