The USAID scandal could very well be a significant catalyst that pushes the U.S. treasury onto transparent, immutable settlement rails

Well that + the desperate need to find buyers of long dated treasuries of course

I'm sure federal spending holds many surprises across all agencies.

I'd like more transparency and more decision-making in federal spending. 

I think the masses would appreciate this more than the politicians. Especially tracing relationships of political donations and federal funding.
