My friend Helena Bottemiller showed this to me last night. The Washington Post ran this great graphic dissecting the stimulus package by type and time.
We're pumping $525 billion into the economy within the first year and a half--64% of the total spending.
The three biggest areas swallowing the spending are Health, Labor & Education; Housing & Transport; and State Stabilization.
I'm still as stunned by this bill as I would have been if I'd been slapped in the face with all 1,100 pages.
