You can find a complete spreadsheet of the pending stimulus package here. Note how many times mind-bogglingly huge amounts (literally Sagan's "billions and billions") are allocated for everything conceivable, all to be disbursed by the heads of the federal agencies, newly appointed by Obama and confirmed by Congress, wherever they see fit. And everyone in Congress is just supposed to blindly follow along with the dictates of the Democratic committee heads who crafted the package, with no debate as to where the money goes. Oh, but this is a new era of transparency! And this strategy worked so well with the last stimulus package... And the Patriot Act... But this time it will be different!
