WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Always wondered how your tax dollars were being spent? Well, the Center for Responsive Politics and OMB Watch have launched three new data bases to track federal spending of tax revenue and the personal finances of American politicians.

The information can be accessed through two websites: OpenSecrets.org and FedSpending.org. On these websites, anyone can research the more than $2.4 billon in combined personal assets and any privately sponsored trips that President Bush, senior federal officials or congressmen have taken.

Gary Bass, executive director for OMB Watch, said anyone with basic computer skills can navigate their user-friendly website because it is like everyday spending. "When you or I go to the store and buy something, we get a receipt," he said. "Fedspending.org is America's receipt on government spending."
