Washington Watch is affiliated with the conservative/libertarian CATO Institute.

WashingtonWatch.com does not report the many benefits that may be provided by government regulation and spending, made possible by taxation. Proposals that “cost” the average American may benefit you, your community, your loved ones, or your employer.

WashingtonWatch.com does not report the budgetary consequences of legislation. A proposal that “saves” money may drive the national debt higher because it reduces taxes without reducing spending. One that “costs” may reduce the national debt because it includes more taxes than spending.

When you rely on a partisan service, you generally get a partisan perspective...which is fine, if that is what you want....but dont attempt to pass it off as a site w/o a political agenda.

If you want to keep an eye on Congress and want a non-partisan perspective, use non-partisan sources, like Thomas, the official Congressional site and read the CRS bill summaries and the CBO cost estimates that are included or use GovTrack, another good non-partisan source.

Keeping an eye on Congress is good....doing it with an open mind (is "not reporting the benefits that may be provided"....open-minded or objective?), rather than a predisposed agenda, is better.
