Shouldn't an oversight group have read access to the Government's accounts payable data? Congress ought to have that data. For any recipient over $1 million, it ought to be public.
There's zero reason to do all this for read only access, I strongly feel he's pushing for the CA keys behind the system that would allow write access to the ledgers.
(Who am I kidding? FOIA offices are probably going to be slashed; independent Inspector Generals have been forced out.)
