$819B Stimulus Breakdown - 5% Going to Infrastructure

BY JOHN C. LEE | JANUARY 30, 2009 | 11:48 AM | 0 COMMENTS

$102 B - Unemployment/food stamps
$42 B - Highway/rail/mass transit
$211 B - State gov't aid
$70 B - Healthcare/education/environment
$110 B - Business tax benefits
$165 B - Individual tax benefits
$119 B - "Other"
$819 B - Total

What is the "other" and why is only 5% of the bill going to the much-hyped infrastructure improvement program?
