Guide to Stimulus funds

Let's face it: Recovery.gov is a government propaganda arm.
There is another way to track the stimulus funds, and its here, by state.

Its broken down in several ways. But this detailed list of spending is interesting.
For instance:
Comparative effectiveness research $300,000,000

That's from the Health Care bill, if I remember correctly.

$18 Million to redesign a website?

My first website was pretty lame. So I took a week and redesigned it.
Now granted, I don't have to integrate searchable databases, create pie charts, or do java scripting. But here is the good news: you can hire a team of people to do that for a few months, and it might even cost you a couple hundred thousand dollars or so.

If you're the government, you can run up a bill of 18 MILLION DOLLARS to do the very same thing.

It's really embarrassing to me that we spend this kind of stupid money every day, and that people do not march on Washington to complain about it.
