I’m not against the site. I think it’s great that someone thought to do it. I have nothing but praise for the people who put it up.
But I have no interest.
The question I have about the Stimulus Bill is "Will it Stimulate the Economy?" If it does than I can bring myself to accept the pork. If not than it's failure is the bigger issue to me.
Bottom Line: There is Pork in every bill out of Congress and it’s a problem. This site just draws my attention to a problem which I already know exists and which I would already fix if I could.
Keynes ideas didn't work in the 30's, aren't going to work now. Actually the government tends to get about .50 on the dollar compared to private investment.

Admittedly, I'm a vegetarian.
Also, according to the FAQ, this list is not exhaustive, the mayors can still pile on more projects.
