It’s been a full 100 days since the bill became law, and the Administration is pulling out all the stops to put a positive spin on the legislation, which has been increasingly panned by media and state and local officials as wasteful and inefficient – basically, anything but the “timely, targeted, and temporary” bill Washington Democrats promised earlier this year. As the Administration marks the 100th day of the “stimulus” spending bill, let’s take a closer look at some of the claims Democrats made about the legislation earlier this year – and how those claims stack 100 days later: Wed, 27 May 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://mikerogers.house.gov/newsroom.aspx?A=537Shortly after the economic stimulus bill was signed, Vice President Biden was talking up the administration's Web site to track the spending, Recovery.gov, when he accidentally directed people to Recovery.org.

The president says all the right things about the importance of getting the deficit under control, but his actions don't come close to matching his rhetoric. Tue, 12 May 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://mikerogers.house.gov/newsroom.aspx?A=527Millions of Americans on Social Security are receiving $250 checks as part of the president's stimulus plan -- including an Anne Arundel woman who died more than 40 years ago.Tue, 12 May 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://mikerogers.house.gov/newsroom.aspx?A=528The government will have to borrow nearly 50 cents for every dollar it spends this year, exploding the record federal deficit past $1.8 trillion under new White House estimates. Budget office figures released Monday would add $89 billion to the 2009 red ink - increasing it to more than four times last year's all-time high as the government hands out billions more than expected for people who have lost jobs and takes in less tax revenue from people and companies making less money. Tue, 12 May 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://mikerogers.house.gov/newsroom.aspx?A=529In its zeal to go “high tech,” the usually redoubtable Census Bureau has already assured the 2010 head count of U.S. residents will be the most expensive in history, even after adjusting for inflation. At a projected $14.5 billion, next year’s census will cost more than twice the expenditure for the 2000 enumeration – mainly because agency officials contracted for a halfmillion hand-held computers, and then mismanaged production of the devices. The result is $3.6 billion in wasted taxpayers’ funds.

You are. Or you're supposed to be, anyway. Wed, 06 May 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://mikerogers.house.gov/newsroom.aspx?A=522WASHINGTON — Although President Obama has vowed that citizens will be able to track "every dime" of the $787 billion stimulus bill, a government website dedicated to the spending won't have details on contracts and grants until October and may not be complete until next spring — halfway through the program, administration officials said.
