Website tracking recovery money spending now online

Those interested in just where and how federal recovery money is being spent have a new resource.

Recovery.gov breaks down spending to a city level including what group received the money and how much. The information can also be sorted by Congressional district.

The site, which was created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, describes itself as a way to “increase accountability to guard against fraud, waste, and abuse.”

As of Sept. 24, Kansas has received $1.2 billion for 1,139 grants, contracts and loans.

Of that money, the 4th Congressional District, which includes Wichita, has received almost $42 million in 169 grants, loans and contracts.

    Too bad it won’t show us how the bailout money was or is being spent (or better yet, horded by the banks).

    Radicals Wrote Failed Stimulus Van Jones, Wade Rathke, founder of Acorn, John Podesta (Soros lackey), Mark Lloyd diversity czar, Jeff Jones domestic terrorist – co-founder with Bill Ayers of the Weatherunderground

    “the Apollo Alliance put together a draft stimulus bill in 2008 that included almost everything in the final $787 billion package. Little did the voters know that the congressmen and senators they would elect would pass a bill written by activist outsiders.”

    Tanks again, H.O., for the typically slanted cut and paste from the “fair and balanced” Investors Biz Daily editorial page.

    The author of that “piece” failed to put his name on it.

    I loved that quote from Astroturfer Phil Kerpen of Americans For Prosperity about those ” activist outsiders”, as told to Glenn Beck.

    The horrible people, led my the marxist kenyan who is himself a terrible human being, who are in charge of the american government will not succeed in the long run. The number of their followers is shrinking by the day, and the longer we keep them hamstrung from actually implementing much of anything the harder they will fall and the harder they will fail.
