- Stimulus Pie Chart – Economix Blog – NYTimes.com
The summary’s introduction says the bill will contain “$275 billion in economic recovery tax cuts and $550 billion in thoughtful and carefully targeted priority investments with unprecedented accountability measures built in.” But those accountability measures seem to have a giant loophole; in the “executive summary” of spending measures that immediately follows this grandiose statement, the various spending programs total only $518.7 billion.
