Vote up and down on individual projects, make arguments for or against, or just least leave a rant or a rave comment... Well organized and informative.

Great idea. Unfortunately it's too late to stop it.

That’s sort of where I am.

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.

"Will it Stimulate the Economy?"

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.

Anybody on the world can vote. Is that a good idea? Isn't it about US taxpayer's money.

Part of me thinks this site is like showing people a slaughterhouse video and then saying "Hey, still want to eat meat?"

Admittedly, I'm a vegetarian.

If you go to the FAQ, where you can download an excel copy. If you're interested, there are 18750 projects asking for 150 Billion of YOUR tax dollars.

Also, according to the FAQ, this list is not exhaustive, the mayors can still pile on more projects.
