You can do the same google I did and get the congressional budget office, and various watchdog organizations, but the numbers are the same. Not a secret.

Here's a few that all have the figures, and all you have to do is google budget bush to get thousands of hits. It's not a secret <vbg>

Only $44 million of the program’s unprecedented $787 billion has been spent, which amounts to a shabby 5 percent. An analysis of stimulus spending by The Associated Press found the money going to the most economically comfortable parts of the country, instead of the least. The study, published in April, concluded that “no matter how the early money is measured, communities suffering most fare the worst.”

And then there were those new Gallup poll numbers showing Americans are increasingly concerned about the new administration’s deficit spending. Majorities now disapprove of Obama’s handling of the federal budget deficit and federal spending.

Yes, the vast majority of the money hasn't been used yet. Better tell Palin to take that stimulus money, and not turn it down ;)

BTW, ask Mitch McConnell what he did with Kentucky's stimulus money?

Then don't wonder why we don't get slot machine gambling in KY.

According to a Rasmussen poll, more voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats to handle the economy, by a margin of 45-39. Scott Rasmussen notes that “this is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue.” Last month, he had the Democrats holding a one-point lead, but they lost it in June’s polling.

Guess all that whining is paying off?

And anyone who has ever read the Bible knows this is going to happen because Revelations says so.

You do understand that much of that "stimlus" money is going to put the states in very poor financial shape after those temporary funds run out yet the political mandates involved are made permanent? You do realize that many states are being given money to use in areas that they dont need? You do understand that they arent able to use it where they want to?
