Drill down into the state map and see the companies/ organizations that recieved the money and how much. In CT a company called alliance roofing got over $3 million of our money and didn't create a ******* single job with it.  WTF did they get it for?  Blue dots are gov and green dots are commercial.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

Hi,

I thought you were joking.  Our zip code got nada.....which one would expect as it is a republican district.  Matter of fact a lot of GM and Chrysler dealerships in the area got closed also, so likely our number is negative, and on purpose.

$13,332,996 for 2.1 jobs.  I want to see this .1 job.

What really busts my balls is that nearly $4 M went to something called the "Drinking Water State Revolving Fund" to improve drinking water--when most of us rely on wells.

No jobs "created or saved" on that one--pure boondoggle ****ing pork.

Well, judging by the rest of you my county is being very efficient with their your money.

A paltry $693030 for a stunning slew of  0.8 jobs.  That's less than a million for a full job at that rate!

Happy days! The Stimulus Porkulus is working!

Thanks Joe!!!

$4.4M for 12.38 jobs.

$2.3M went to the city with 0 jobs created/saved.  It was used to by new buses and a couple of vans for handicapped riders.
