Well, not really. Seems the website Biden couldn't remember is not even ready for use even though the money is going out. Also there is no way to fully track all the money since only the first 2 recipients will be listed.

WASHINGTON — 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.

This is even more interesting since the ones in charge of following the money seem to be more than willing to let the taxpayers track the money than actually putting forth an effort to help.

And perhaps that's just as well, given the turnout of the panel tasked with keeping track of thousands of millions of dollars. Just three of the 10 members bothered to show up for the subcommittee's second meeting, dramatically titled "Follow the Money Part II."

We had fraternity parties that were planned better than this. Maybe they should throw some of the money at a decent company to develop the website instead of one that says

"It's really, really hard," Gillespie said, "and it's taken us 10 years to figure out."

No surprises in this. This is why Chrysler and GM are going to be so comical to watch.

I haven't said this in a while, and this seems as good a thread as any to reiterate that's it's my opinion that Joe Biden is a brain-damaged moron.
