The results are decidedly mixed; $50 Billion has gone out with $170 billion set to flood states and municipalities in 2010-11.  The other $530 billion is being tracked separately, and consists substantially of un-needed (in deficit terms) tax cuts.  The downside is the lack of transparency and accountability, but the GAO's Chris Mihm says they're still working on that part.

That's a relief.  What could possibly go wrong with gifting $780 billion of your children's borrowed future to a bunch of bloated-budget bureaucrats.  Heaven forbid, states and local governments use the recession as an opportunity to pare back excesses built over a 20-year revenue boom. 

But that would only happen if decision makers cared about responsible governance as much as re-election.  Inside we have compiled the complete, embedded GAO report, an extensive review from the AP, 7 more cartoons, and a 2-minute, CNBC clip from GAO Managing Director Chris Mihm.
