Unfortunately we don't have that data unless you want to go through the text line by line (I considered it.) Anyway, I love the mashup of the data with unemployment. I like what recovery.org is trying to do but they need to go farther in presenting their information in an intelligent way. See recovery.gov done better, with stimuluswatch.org's data here: http://www.tableausoftware.com/blog/viz-police%3A-improving-digital-democracy Now that the bill is out, it would be better to map and debate the actual line items.

Pols are seeing the stimulus as a way to fund huge projects that are not far along because there is no money to pay for the construction. It takes a long time to go throught the planning, design, permitting and bid/award process. The vast majority of shovel ready projects already have funding. They would typically not have been brought to that point without having the funding to build them. Funding these projects with stimulus money will not create any new jobs as they were going to be done anyway.
