My question is. Where was that money actually spent? This may well be a false accounting of huge sums of taxpayer funds going into the hands of cronies that cannot be accounted for in an otherwise legal way. Could we please follow the money on this one? I see most of the focus on fake jobs created in fake districts.

There are only 30. I had hoped... hope... ha ha ha... that it was just sloppiness on the part of the government. I should have known better. This means that Recovery.gov is just pulling numbers out of it's you know what, or that they are receiving numbers from states and not fact checking them. Knowing what I know about how government works, probably both. I've checked around the web but have been unable to find who actually runs Recovery.gov. Sounds like one of our intrepid and well connected directors needs to find out.... I went to see how many state districts there were in AZ. There are only 30.

They are just estimates and could just easily be many times higher or lower. Total fabrication. What is true is that $800bn is being spent on "stimulus" and the US has 10.2% unemployment (~16m people). A normal unemployment of 5% would mean 8m more people would have jobs. Shouldn't $800,000,000,000 be enough money to give 8m people jobs, if it was really designed to help boost the economy and not just buy votes? $800bn equates to a $50k/yr income for all of the people who are unemployed over the normal rate. Oh yeah, enough for them to have a job for TWO years. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm This whole idea of estimating where the “stimulus” has created jobs is ridiculous.
