Just where is the stimulus cash going?
Today, the White House releases a huge amount of raw data on how and where stimulus money is being spent. We talk about the numbers we know so far, what listeners have noticed, and what we’ll be looking for in the tea leaves about what. We’re joined by WNYC reporter Andrea Bernstein; Pete Herman, a currently unemployed ironworker from Brooklyn, NY; and Charlie Dilbert, a construction worker from Cincinnati whose job is being paid for with stimulus money.
