If you check the recovery.gov website only a very small percentage of the money is going toward "shovel ready" projects. The rest is entitlement and pork. The oversight auditor said "Its a sausage factory"
I'm surprised that anyone is surprised.
Some "shovel ready" projects are being held up in the respective states. The following is another website (independent) which follows the stimulus money, state by state, plus provides a lot of other interesting trivia, like who is lobbying for what. Ignore the intro section dated in March, and go to the current links to the right of the page. It is constantly being updated, so it's a keeper.
