<a href="http://www.recovery.gov/transparency/pages/ProjectSummary508.aspx?AwardId=1728&AwardType=GRANT">$184k of stimulus money</a> goes to... imporoving transportation? No? Rebuilding electric grids? No? Retraining workers displaced by the economy? Sort of... if going to the <a href="http://www.jamesalbertsalon.com/">"James Albert School of Cosmetology"</a> is your idea of a retraining.
What's worse is <a href="http://www.recovery.gov/pages/TextViewProjSummary.aspx?data=awardsList&State=CA&Agency=91&Amount=ALL&AwardType=CGL&RenderData=ALL&pageID=1">the list is endless</a>. I'm so glad that we are increasing the tax burden on the next few generations so that former realtors can learn to trim hair at their local Supercuts when James Albert and their ilk graduate their paying students without being able to offer them a job.
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_Grant">Pell Grants</a> have been around forever, why are they now suddenly "stimulus" and what other regular government programs have been similarly commandeered for stimulus use. Or are these an entirely different kind of grant and what criteria are being used to award them? The recovery.gov website provide no information on this, despite "transparent reporting of Recovery-related funds as they are distributed and used" being the mission of the website.
