The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in pictures
A year-by-year look at where the money goes:
Note: The dollar amounts listed below are denominated in millions of dollars.
Which adds up to:
Finally, the relative size of each year's spending:
Some other breakdowns of how the money will be allocated can be found here and here.

Very useful. Do the figures above refer to fiscal or calendar year? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, useful stuff. As I was scrolling, I was thinking, "yeah, but, what is the total breakdown between years and groups" and the next charts appeared!

Thanks for this. It helps visualize rather than just hear numbers.

Hi Dave and Courtney,
Thanks. Don't know if you guys are still seeing the commments to this post, but I was wondering about the year-by-year totals. I get something closer to 20% (spending alone or with revenue reductions) in 2009. Am I interpretting this incorrectly?

David - THANK YOU. I've been trying to get various media outlets to do something similar for weeks now. Despite their increased predilections for graphics nobody really bit.
On that note perhaps you'd care to take the next step and map the various components to impact timeframes, perhaps with judgments about effects. Contemplate an array with "columns" defined by s.t., intermediate and strategic impacts. And then project the speed vs multiplier impacts.
Possible, interesting, good tracking and on-going evaluation tool ?
