Most of the roughly $300 billion coming directly to the states is being funneled through existing government programs for health care, education, unemployment benefits, food stamps and other social services.
Social programs get bulk of stimulus cash - Life- msnbc.com

My goodness, and that's reported on Arch-Liberal Medium MSNBC?

Guess they're not so "in the tank" as so many had been told, er, concluded for themselves.

It is too bad the states are in such a shambles, though.

Haha, complaining about food stamps?
Unemployment Insurance?

Those are two of (actually, top 2) the most stimulative things that can be done.
Its really funny to hear someone complain about it, as if its a bad thing.
