Accountability of the Scientific Stimulus Funding

eldavojohn writes "A blog tipped me off to a government site that allows me to see where my tax dollars went when the nebulous 'scientific stimulus' was granted. You might be able to find this information in a bill, but you can click on your state in this interactive site to see what has happened locally to you. Perhaps it's a sign of more government transparency in regards to spending or just more propaganda."

Not sure why you'd bother to think that it's going to anything real, since the Fed seems to be ok with saving jobs and dumping money into DISTRICTS THAT DON'T EXIST.

Guessed to be to the tune of $70+ BILLION so far.

"Change!" indeed. I think Boss Tweed would find that amusing. Daley might even be impressed.

I don't like Obama, but he's better than Bush. The Mainstream media LOVED Bush. They don't seem to like Obama as much. I really don't know what kind of propaganda you've been listening to, but it seems to have lead you to develop a persecution complex of some sort.

Palin is such an amusing fool, it cheers everyone up to read about her hilarious antics. That sells papers, which is the real bias of 'mainstream' (read, corporate owned and pro corporatist) media.

Huh. Your unsourced quotation seems to be missing something, namely, any evidence to refute my claims. All it says is that the media pays attention to Obama. Doesn't say whether there was positive or negative coverage.

You keep setting them up like that, I'll keep knocking them out of the park.
