There are some numbers I’d like to put together and I need your help to do it. I’m looking for every specific instance of wasteful, unnecessary or inefficient spending members of Congress have criticized in the Senate or House versions of the stimulus bill. I’m not talking about generic criticisms but rather specific line items such as the funds for contraceptives, research on STDs, refurbishing various buildings on the National Mall, etc. My sense is there aren’t many more than half a dozen that are getting the lion’s share of attention. And I’m not sure there’s more than a dozen that are getting much attention at all. But I want to pull together the examples. So I’d be greatly obliged if you can send in emails with citations and links to specific articles noting the programs and the dollar amounts.
