Where it goes
Sector by sector, we trace public and household dollars through operators, finance, holders, debt, and profit.

The money did not disappear. It went somewhere.
This site will house the money-flow work: healthcare, housing, food, transportation, education, infrastructure, debt, and the recurring extraction mechanisms behind the bill.

What should happen
Public money should build public capacity and public equity, not just underwrite private extraction.
