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.

Drill down deeper still and see HOW ****ING MUCH MONEY WAS TRULY WASTED AND WHERE IT WENT.

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!!!

Did a little digging. (That's a cool site) Found out that D.C. which is a tiny pittance landwise, is receiving roughly 1/3 the money that the whole state of Florida is. Am I surprised? Hell no.

Those 33,888.5 jobs apparently cost more than $274,000 each.

hahahahahahahaha

They probably all worked for a month and were paid $1200. The rest went into some special pockets.
