Where'd the stimulus funds go?

Yeah, we all knew this would happen. It's why the tea parties started: 

remember how all those billions in "stimulus" money allocated in Washington last year were reserved for "shovel-ready" projects, creating new construction jobs and additionally re-building our infrastructure -- roads, piers, bridges, stuff like that?

Well, let the man in the plaid sport coat and the white Corfam shoes explain it all to you, Mr. and Ms. Voter. Turns out you didn't want a bunch of crummy infrastructure, after all. Instead, they found something much better to spend your money on, if you'll just step this way ...

As it turns out, most of that money is going where government always puts most of its money -- into fat paychecks for social service bureaucrats.
