Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer launches new website consolidating 30 years of government data to make facts more accessible
Ex Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has launched the website USAFacts.org
The site is a $10 million effort to consolidate 30 years of government data online
It focuses on a 'nonbipartisan' presentation of the facts in a user-friendly fashion
Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has created a new organization to analyze government spending and revenue to make it easier to understand.
Ballmer gathered a group of data specialists that spent nearly three years compiling the information for its first reports, which are available online at www.USAFacts.org.
He says he created USAFacts because he was frustrated he couldn't find a single source that combined all the relevant state and federal numbers. The site launched on Tuesday and Ballmer announced the launch the same day in a speech at the Economic Club of New York.
The reports it provides will be updated periodically.
The former Microsoft executive says he wants to provide clear information on government spending, adding that he hopes it will be easier to discuss divisive issues if everyone can agree on the basic facts.

Lol, “government data.”
THAT was my first thought, also...”government data?”
Ballmer has a long track record of stupid ideas that go nowhere.
This looks like another of his stupid ideas.
I’d like it if it works though. Tough to get the info from the government itself.
HOW ABOUT 60 YEARS
SO WE CAN SEE THE DISASTER OF LBJ’S “GREAT SOCIETY”
BEFORE AND AFTER
So, I guess it is partisan?
Glad to see them admit it.
Usually they pretend to be non-partisan, but somehow it is always skewed to the left.
Fake facts?
